Netgear WNAP210 PROSAFE Wireless-N Access Point

Geeks call it a WAP but it's really a Wireless Access Point designed for 802.11n or 802.11g networks. It's an important device to extend networks for simpler management. Prior to wireless networks, setting up a Computer network in a business, home, or school often required running many cables through walls and ceilings in order to deliver network access to all of the network-enabled devices in the building. With the advent of the Wireless Access Point, network users are now able to add devices that access the network with few or no cables. Today's WAPs are built to support a standard for sending and receiving Data using radio frequencies rather than cabling. Those standards, and the frequencies they use are defined by the IEEE. Most WAPs use IEEE 802.11 standards.

Up to 10x the coverage and 15x the speed of 802.11g networks when used with 802.11n devices

Backward compatible to 802.11g devices while simultaneously providing faster wireless Networking for 802.11n devices Security features include WPA, WPA2, rogue AP detection and 802.1x with RADIUS support

Can run on 802.3af PoE for easy placement in optimal locations- desktop, wall-mount or ceiling

Internal antennas for optimized antenna configuration without user guesswork

Comprehensive SNMP functionality for advanced network management
