The Wireless Broadband Router supports up to 252 clients. Up to 16 of the 252 clients can be wireless. The Network Address
Translation (NAT) feature allows 64 clients to simultaneously communicate out to the Internet. It runs at speeds up to 54
Megabits per second (Mbps), and the LAN (wired) port runs at 10/100 Mbps. The maximum distance between the Broadband
Router and each computer is 300 feet. This distance may be less depending on your environment.
NOTE: Using the default settings, the Wireless Broadband Router can provide an IP address to 99 wired and wireless
computers. The IP address uniquely identifies each computer on the network. Connections above 20 users may cause
slower throughput as network traffic increases.
By default, you can use the Broadband Router as:
a wireless access point using "wireless" as the wireless network name.
a DHCP server that provides IP addresses to wireless and wired clients.
a bridge to an Ethernet hub.
