The Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router is an 802.11b/g wireless access point with a built-in Internet router.

Connecting to an xDSL or cable modem, the Broadband Router can offer both wired and wireless computers simultaneous

access to the Internet. The Wireless Broadband Router can be configured as:

computers. The firewall features included in the router control Internet access and protect your network.

Connects wireless computers for file and print sharing.

4-port Ethernet switch:

Connects four wired computers for file and print sharing.

Ethernet bridge:

Enables file and print sharing between wired and wireless computers. In addition, connects to an

Ethernet hub, extending Internet connectivity and sharing to more wired computers.

The Wireless Broadband Router supports up to 252 clients. Up to 16 of the 252 clients can be wireless. The

Network Address

Translation

(NAT) feature allows 64 clients to simultaneously communicate out to the Internet. It runs at speeds up to 54

Megabits per second

(Mbps), and the LAN (wired) port runs at 10/100 Mbps. The maximum distance between the Broadband

Router and each computer is 300 feet. This distance may be less depending on your environment.

NOTE: Using the default settings, the Wireless Broadband Router can provide an IP address to 99 wired and wireless

computers. The IP address uniquely identifies each computer on the network. Connections above 20 users may cause

slower throughput as network traffic increases.

By default, you can use the Broadband Router as:

a wireless access point using "wireless" as the wireless network name.

a DHCP server that provides IP addresses to wireless and wired clients.

a bridge to an Ethernet hub.
