SMC's EZ Connect TM g 2.4GHz 54Mbps Wireless Ethernet Bridge

• An Ethernet to Wireless Bridge, providing a wireless connection
via an RJ-45 connection to devices such as Microsoft Xbox
and Ethernet ready embedded devices.
• A standard IEEE 802.11g access point.
• A wireless repeater, allowing you to effectively extend
the coverage of another SMC2870W that is configured

This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with
considerable cost savings over wired LANs (eliminates long-term
maintenance overhead for cabling). Just install enough wireless
