Description:
|
This is a wireless router that has four ethernet plugs and a wireless antenna. The wireless can access wireless points using open system, PSK, WEP, and WEP-PSK security. It can do an area scan to see what other wireless networks are in the area, and what channel they run on. There is documentation on the included cd, and online. THe WR850G can be completely configured via web browser (I used Konqueror) because the configuration is written javascript.
This is an external unit.

This unit is a wireless router that configures seemlessly through any web browser. It can be used as a dhcp server, or you can assign your ips statically. This was easy to set up, works perfectly, and is a great way to go wireless.

To add to the reviews above, one can reflash this router with OpenWRT software and get a fully accessible router that runs Linux! You can then ssh to it, make it run cron jobs---just let your imagination run free. With a bit of work, it can WOL your machine when you need it and run downloads, etc.
