Feature
Performance and Compatibility
The AirLive WL-5420AP is a 54Mbps Wireless Access Point with outstanding performance at an very competitive price.  Fully compliant with the latest IEEE 802.11g standard, the AP establish high speed wireless network at the same frequency spectrum as 802.11b.  Rated at 17.5dBm output power, users no longer have to compromise between speed and distance.  The antenna is detachable to allow upgrade to hi-gain antenna.  Best of all, it is compatible with most 802.11g and 802.11b devices.

Nitro Mode Speed
Conventionally, when an 802.11b device is present inside a 802.11g environment, the performance of the entire wireless network can be brought down to the same level as the 802.11b speed (or worse).  This has been a particular challenging issue as the wireless networks are based on sharing architecture.  The OvisLink 802.11g family are equipped with the latest Nitro Mode technology to lessen the b+g collision problem.  Nitro mode adds  “RTD/CTS“ packet in front of the "11g" packets to avoid the collision and the interference with "11b" clients.  Furthermore, Packet Bursting is used to extend the timing for “11g" traffic.  The end result is higher overall performance in the real world environment.

Multi-Function AP
Equipped with a powerful RISC processor, the AP features advanced multi-function capabilities.  By changing the firmware, it can also function as a wireless bridge to connect LANs together across different buildings, floors or areas at 54Mbps speed.  The AirLive WL-5420AP's bridge can operate in point to point and multi-point mode.  Best of all, it now has WDS (Repeater) function to extend the wireless signal from another AP for extra distance.

For connection to the wireless router, the AP client function is provided.  The WL-5420AP's Bridge and Client mode is defined by SSID instead of MAC address, this makes it much more compatible with other wireless AP and routers.   

Extended Security Features
OvisLink has gone the extra mile to ensure wireless security. In addition to the standard WEP encryption, the latest WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is also supported for extra security.  Hide SSID prevents outside users from joining the network without knowing the wireless Network's ID.  For Wireless ISP and Hotspot providers, the AP even provide the 802.1x Radius support.

Whether it's for office or home environment, the AirLive 802.11g family bring you the maximum performance and security for today's high speed wireless network.
