effectively from a home office, connected
securely to a corporate network. Buffalo's
solutions are ideal for home networks
that require secure, high-speed access
to the corporate LAN. Tools that play an
integral part in Buffalo's solutions include
VPN connectivity for secure access to
corporate resources, which enable the
remote employee to handle information

from clients or coworkers as if they were
in the office. IEEE 802.11g technology
enables anticipated data intensive ap-
plications such as high security commu-
nication and VoIP. Connect the Buffalo
AirStation Broadband router AP to a CATV
or DSL modem in order to:
• Share broadband access
• Share files and printers
• Bridge between multiple networks and
multiple PC platforms
• Provide easy and secure access to
home or company networks from re-
mote locations

1.5 Buffalo Anywhere Networking

Mobile professionals can be productive
while traveling by accessing standards-
based, secure, high-speed connections in
many hotel, airports, convention centers,
and even coffee shops. The WBR-G54
makes extending your LAN simple, secure,
scalable, and manageable, in part through
solutions like VPN, allowing mobile
professionals to take their offices on the
road effortlessly. When no wired broad-
band connections are available, wire-
less solutions in public spaces coupled
with VPN can connect mobile workers to
their businesses. Buffalo's access point
features make a home network system
accessible from anywhere.
