Introduction
TM-G5240 Wireless Router
Congratulations on your purchase of the T-Mobile TM-G5240 wireless router (also
referred to as TM-G5240).
The TM-G5240 supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work, and in public
places. The TM-G5240 wireless router uses the new 802.11g standard. The IEEE
802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the data rate up
to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.
In addition to offering fast data transfer speeds, the TM-G5240 has the newest, strongest,
and most advanced security features available today (WPA and 802.1x):
•
WPA
: Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet
is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater
security than the standard WEP security. By contrast, the older WEP encryption
required the keys to be changed manually.
•
Authentication
: Authentication is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the
authentication process, the server verifies the identity of the client attempting to
connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access.
What is unique about the TM-G5240
The TM-G5240 is unique in that it has been optimized to work with a compatible T-Mobile
phone so that you can use your phone for calling via your Wi-Fi network or the T-Mobile
GSM network.

54Mbps.*
•
Backwards compatible with the 802.11b standard to provide a wireless data rate of
up to 11Mbps.
•
WPA (Wi Fi Protected Access) authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at a regular interval, for example:
o
TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS
server, changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater
security.
o
Pre Shared Key
mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS
server, can connect securely via a pre-shared key, vastly improving the
safety of communications on the network.
•
802.1x Authentication in conjunction with the RADIUS server verifies the identity of
would be clients.
•
Utilizes OFDM technology (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing).
•
User-friendly configuration and diagnostic utilities.
•
Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range.
•
Connects multiple computers to a Broadband (Cable or DSL) modem to share the
Internet connection.
•
Advanced firewall features:
o
Supports NAT with VPN pass-through, providing added security
o
MAC Filtering
o
IP Filtering
o
URL Filtering
o
Domain Blocking
o
Scheduling
•
DHCP server enables all networked computers to automatically receive IP
addresses.
•
Web-based interface for Managing and Configuring.
•
Access Control to manage users on the network.
•
Supports special applications that require multiple connections.
•
Equipped with 4 10/100 Ethernet ports, 1 WAN port, Auto MDI/MDIX.
*Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network
overhead lower actual data throughput rate.
