TRENDnet’s TEW-430APB Wireless Access Point is today’s link to Wireless Technology. Compliant with the IEEE Wireless Networking Standard 802.11g, it provides Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) operation for transparent bridging and roaming capabilities for wireless nodes. The TEW-430APB also provides WDS bridging functions, allowing users to connect two or more Access Points together, wirelessly. With TRENDnet’s Wireless Access Point and Wireless Network Adapters, users can connect to Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN at home or office to access network resources such as hard drives, CD-ROM/DVD drives, network printers, and Internet connection - with coverage up to 300 meters.

*Note: Coverage and Speed performance might vary depending on the network environment. * "Please Note: Since the radio power output of the TEW-430APB is split between one internal and one external antenna, the replacement of the external antenna with a higher gain solution provides limited performance gain over the current 2dBi antenna range. As a result, if you are planning to use a high-gain antenna with the TEW-430APB Access Point, please consider the TEW-450APB".
