Chapter 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing WAP-4033PE. The WAP-4033PE supports both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g standards. You can use it to connect an existing WLAN, or to build up a new wireless LAN. Except for essential AP mode, WAP-4033PE also provides AP Client/ Bridge/ Repeater and WDS (Wireless Distributed System) modes to accommodate all kinds of network topology. High data rate (up to 54Mbps) support allows faster communication between LAN and WLAN. Maximize network effici
