Getting to Know Your NBG334W

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NBG334W.

1.1 Overview

The NBG334W acts as either an access point (AP) or a secure broadband router for all data
passing between the Internet and your local network. In both AP and Router Mode you can
set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g compatible devices. In Router Mode a
number of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available. You can use
media bandwidth management to efficiently manage traffic on your network. Bandwidth
management features allow you to prioritize time-sensitive or highly important applications
such as Voice over the Internet (VoIP).

1.2 AP Mode

Select AP Mode if you already have a router or gateway on your network which provides
network services such as a firewall or bandwidth management.
The following figure shows computers in a WLAN connecting to the NBG334W, which acts
as an access point (A). The NBG334W allows the wireless computers to share the same
Internet access as the other computers connected to the router (B) on the same network.
