• Works with all brands of wireless hubs, routhers, access points that conform to 802.11b networking
• Connect your PlayStation, Xbox, ReplayTV, IP Network Camera to the Internet
• Easy to Install, no drivers
• OS platform independent
• Supports 10 or 100 Mbit Ethernet devices

Now you can finally hook up your Ethernet ready product to your home's network or to the Internet. The Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge plugs into the Ethernet ports now commonly found on game systems, ReplayTV PVR, and IP network cameras (like our Panasonic, D-Link, and the D-Link i2eye video phone). This means, those products can be moved around the house, OR used where you can't run a hardwired line. Gamers can join multiple-player video games with others on the Internet using a high-speed broadband connection.

Because the Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge can be installed in any Ethernet-ready devices, it runs under any OS/platform (Windows, DOS, SUN, MAC, even things that don't have a traditional operating system). Here are a few products from Smarthome that can use the Bridge:

• Panasonic Color Network Cameras


• D-Link Internet Cameras


• D-Link i2eye VideoPhone Camera


• AudioTron Internet Music Distribution


• Web-Xpander Module for JDS Stargate

With its Web-based configuration and simple setup wizard, the Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge is easy to install, enabling users to quickly connect to an existing D-LinkAir, AirPlus, or other 802.11b-compliant wireless network. And because it's a D-Link AirPlus product, it transfers data much faster than standard 802.11b devices.

Other innovative features includes:

The Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge also features 256-bit WEP encryption for a higher level of security for your communication.

The rear RJ-45 jack supports auto MDI/MDIX, which means it can automatically accommodate either Straight-Through or Cross-Over cable and is auto-sensing.

Can operate in an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer model where one bridge can wirelessly communicate to another bridge, all without a router.

Firmware upgradeable - your Ethernet Bridge can be upgraded with a downloadable program.

Features advanced silicon chip design from Texas Instruments, utilizing their patented Digital Signal Processing™ technology.

Tip for 2.4GHz Cordless Phone Users
Worried about interference between your 2.4GHz phone and a wireless network? While the two share the same frequency band, there is lots of space for the two system to work together without interfering with each other. For 802.11 series wireless networking products, most experts suggest using wireless channel 11. (All D-Link 802.11b Wireless devices default to channel 6). This frequency is often outside the frequency band of most 2.4GHz phones. Also, in the 802.11b (2.4GHz) standard there are 11 channels to choose from, all but three of those channels are overlapping channels. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels.
