uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple

steams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless access to

multimedia content. Robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates dead spots and

extends network range. For data protection and privacy, the WL-326 encodes all

wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.

computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but provides safe

VPN pass-through. With incredible speed and QoS function of 802.11n(draft2.0),

the WL-326 is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming,

and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data streams through the

network at the same time, with no degradation in performance.
