802CA

Minimum System Requirements
  • Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, XP
  • CD-ROM drive
  • Available Type II PC Card slot compatible with a 32bit CardBus Card
  • 802.11a wireless access point for wireless connections
  • TCP/IP network protocol installed
  • Internet Explorer 6.0+ (recommended)
  • Other browsers such as Safari or Firefox, need to have Java Script enabled
  • Note

    An 802.11a wireless adapter runs at 54Mbps as do 802.11g wireless adapters, but they are not compatible with each other. This is because they do not use the same frequency. The 802.11a operates at 5GHz and the 802.11g operates at 2.4GHz. While this does prevent the two adapters from being networked together, it does have one good aspect, and that is that the frequency difference allows both networks to operate in the same environment, to co-exist without interfering with each other.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does Actiontec sell a Wireless Range Expander or Wireless Repeater, to extend a wireless networks coverage?




    Does Actiontec sell a Wireless Range Expander or Wireless Repeater, to extend a wireless networks coverage?
    No, Actiontec does not sell a Wireless Repeater. The Wireless Routers, Access Points and Gateways that we currently produce, do not support WDS or Wireless Distribution System. (WDS is a technology that allows the linking of several Wireless Access Points, to create one large Wireless network.)
