Product Description

Intelligent Networking Features for a Scalable, Secure Solution
NETGEAR’s ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 delivers the secure, reliable, high-performance wireless local area networks (WLANs) today’s mobile workforce demands. This powerful device provides industry-standard access to corporate network resources, email, and the Internet. Fully compatible with IEEE 802.11g, (2.4 GHz), it can also be set for dynamic 108 Mbps 802.11g. With its robust security measures, simplified management, and configuration, SNMP support, integrated IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE), and Wi-Fi certification, the WG102 brings standards-based enterprise-level functionality at a mid-market price.

• Security
  Complies with industry security standards for wireless data encryption, and user authorization. 802.11i ready, WPA provides enhanced, interoperable wireless networking security. WPA and 802.1x support enable strong mutual authentication to ensure that only legitimate clients associate with corporate RADIUS servers. Supports MAC address authentication with 256-user Access Control List (ACL) and VPN pass-through.

• Management
  Integrated IEEE 802.3af-based Power over Ethernet (PoE) support eliminates extra cables and the need to locate near a power outlet, as the access point is powered over the Ethernet cable. Supports Simple Network Management Protocol
  (SNMP) MIB I, MIB II, and 802.11 MIB using SNMP-based network management software, such as NETGEAR ProSafe Network Management System NMS100. Supports all popular 802.1x port-based authentication protocols, including Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Transport Layer Security (TLS), Protected EAP (PEAP), and Tunneled TLS (TTLS).

• Aptitude
  IEEE 802.11g wireless standard – with optional speeds up to 108 Mbps – takes care of business communications with great dispatch and skill. Delivers functionality for point-to-point and point-to-multi-point bridging and repeater modes. High performance wireless features combine with a typical -75 dBm receive sensitivity (Rx) at 54 Mbps, 19 dBm transmit power (Tx), and a high gain 5 dBi omni-directional antenna for optimal range and throughput.

• Usability
  Cost effective, simple to install and use. Plenum rated – appropriate for placement above drop-down ceilings and under raised floors. Equipped with a convenient Smart Wizard™ browser-based interface. Fitted with a single, detachable 5 dBi antenna – compatible with NETGEAR’s ProSafe antennas for expanded wireless capacity and range.
