Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Welcome
ZE 1542 connects you with IEEE802.11n(Draft 2.0) networks at receiving rate up to an
incredible 300Mbps! By using the reflection signal, 802.11n's “Multiple In, Multiple Out”
(MIMO) technology increases the range and reduces “dead spots” in the wireless
coverage area. Unlike ordinary wireless networking of 802.11b/g standards that are
confused by wireless reflections, MIMO can actually use these reflections to increase four
times transmission range of 802.11g products. Besides, when both ends of the wireless
link are 802.11n products, MIMO technology can utilize twice radio band to increase
three times transmission speed of ordinary 802.11g standard products, and can comply
with backwards 802.11b/802.11g standards.
Soft AP supported by ZE 1542 can help you establish wireless LAN networking with
lowest cost. Besides, PS (PBC and PIN) encryption method can free you from
remembering the long passwords. Complete MM function makes your voice and video
more smooth.
