Product Description

With the 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point, users can access network resources, the Internet, and e-mail at speeds up to 54 Mbps and at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). That's almost five times the speed of existing 802.11b wireless products, which makes this product ideal for small offices that run demanding audio, video and multimedia applications. Because the 802.11g standard uses the 2.4GHz radio spectrum, the 11g access point is backward compatible with 802.11b wireless products. This flexibility preserves your network investment and allows you to upgrade or scale your network according to your budget and time frame. The 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point supports 802.11g and 802.11b notebooks, PCs, and other wireless client devices.Like all award-winning OfficeConnect products, the access point is affordable and easy to install. It delivers performance and reliability features that automatically select the best channel and connection speed, so connections stay clear and open. It also employs advanced 256-bit WPA (Wireless Protected Access) encryption as well as 40/64- and 128-bit shared-key WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) encryption to help protect data on the wireless LAN. And because the access point is Wi-Fi certified, it should work seamlessly with Wi-Fi certified products from other vendors.

Feels like a whole new network.......2006-03-03

Having used a D-Link 614+ router and a 900+ repeater for a couple of years, I'd become accustomed to the daily power cycling to restore reliable operation. Once that router finally got too flaky, I went shopping for a replacement, and found that these 3com models were available with a tremendous rebate. I got a pair of them going in the house, and the difference is like night and day.

These routers are rock solid after a month in place, and cast a stronger signal throughout my old stone-walled house. Even though I've not upgraded any of my D-Link wireless cards installed in my computers from my current 802.11b, the connection speed is much faster and more stable with these routers.

3com's reputation for high quality equipment seems well earned, given the performance of this product. I'm completely satisfied now, and the 3 year warranty that covers them extends my peace of mind.
