Overview the Product Introduction NetPassage WPE53G is a high-performance and low-cost IEEE802.11b/g Access Point using the latest AR5007 technology. NetPassage WPE53G is also very small compared to other Access Points in the market. Using Atheros System-on-Chip (SoC) solution, WPE53G supports high-speed data transmission of up to 54Mbps or 108 Mbps. Moreover, Power-over-Ethernet support enables NetPassage WPE53G to be used even in areas without readily-available power outlets.

When to Use Which Mode Access Point Mode The Access Point Mode is the default mode of the access point and enables the bridging of wireless clients to access the wired network infrastructure and also enables their communication with each other. In this example the wireless users are able to access the file server connected to the switch, through the access point in Access Point Mode. Page 4

Access Point Client Mode In Access Point Client Mode the device acts as a wireless client. When connected to an access point, it creates a network link between the Ethernet network connected at this client device, and the wireless Ethernet network connected at the access point. In this mode it can only connect with another access point. Other wireless clients cannot connect to it directly unless they are also connected to the same access point – allowing them to communicate with a

Broadband Internet Access Type: Static IP Address Use Static IP Address if you have subscribed to a fixed IP address or to a range of fixed IP addresses from your ISP. Dynamic IP Address With Dynamic IP Address the access point requests for, and is automatically assigned an IP address by your ISP, for instance: • Singapore Cable Vision • @HOME Cable Services PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) Use PPPoE if you are using ADSL services in a country utilizing standard PPPoE authentication

Wireless Adapter Mode In Wireless Adapter Mode, the access point can communicate wirelessly with another access point to perform transparent bridging between 2 networks, like in the Access Point Client Mode. In this mode, however, the wireless adapter connects to a single workstation only. No client software or drivers are required to use this mode. Optional additional feature: Point-to-Point connection in this operation mode is also supported if you specifically wish to connect w

Repeater Mode The access point comes with a built-in Repeater Mode to extend the range, and substantially enhance the performance of the wireless network by allowing communications over much greater distances. In Repeater Mode, the access point acts as a relay for network signals on the network by regenerating the signals it receives, and retransmitting them to extend the range of the existing network infrastructure. Detailed information on the Repeater Mode is available in the
