ProSafe™ Wireless Access Point 802.11g
Intelligent Networking Features for a Scalable, Secure Solution
NETGEAR's P
roSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302 delivers the secure, reliable,
high performance wireless local area networks (WLANs) today's mobile workforce demands.
This powerful device provides the ultimate in 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, extended range, integrated IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet
(PoE), and Wi-Fi certification, the WG302 brings standards-based enterprise-level functionality
at a mid-market price.
And, with AutoCell™ RF management technology, RF patterns are monitored and automatically
tuned to balance signals across the network, thus minimizing channel interference and optimizing
WLAN performance. AutoCell-enabled WG302s provide dynamic transmit power control,
automatic channel selection and load balancing.
Complies with industry security standards for wireless data encryption, and user authorization. 802.11i, WPA2 Enterprise
provides enhanced, interoperable wireless networking security. WPA and 802.1x support enables 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.
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 HP OpenView
™
.
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). Console port facilitates local
configuration and monitoring. Users can remotely configure, update, and monitor multiple WG302's simultaneously
via FTP.
