Access Point Gigabyte GN-APO1G

Amid the rush of the N-standard wireless networking devices, Gigabyte released the access point that supports the standard G.Access points are fairly simple, given at the back of the body there is only one RJ45 connector for LAN cable. Removable antenna is also the only one, so that data transmission should alternate between the send and receive.
 
Grating on the right and left Gigabyte GN-APO1G enough to help air circulation in the body of this access point to prevent overheating. Physical form is quite compact and light weight make it flexible enough to be placed anywhere.
 
Addition methods of administration and configuration of Gigabyte GN-APO1G through the installation of the applications included quite reasonable priced. The goal is to anticipate the compatibility of a web browser that is used to configure the access point.
 
WPA encryption standard that is included Gigabyte GN-APO1G could be the beginning of security in data communications. Similarly, MAC address filtering facility can be used to prevent illegal users to associate themselves into the access point.
 
When tested the signal transmission power, GIGABYTE presents the performance a little below the standard limit is used, namely the standard G (54 Mbps). The tests we did with NetIQ Chariot software and involve a USB wireless adapter Gigabyte GN-WBKG showed the highest throughput of 16.042 Mbps rate. Lowest throughput in number 10.980 and the average is at 13.637 Mbps. This figure is below 27 Mbps (half of 54 Mbps). Division two is because the standard G has not supported the system for receiving and sending data packets at a time (full duplex).
 
The stability of signal transmission is still not masksimal, seen from the test curve shape the rise and fall on a relatively large interval. This shows that the Gigabyte GN-APO1G should not be used to serve users who are too much so that data traffic becomes congested.
 
In addition to functioning as an access point, Gigabyte GN-APO1G also can function as a bridge that will communicate with other access points as well as strengthen the signal so that data communication coverage increases. By adjusting the channel on the access point in common-access point that will communicate and enter the number of network card (MAC address) access point, access point into the WDS table, the Gigabyte GN-APO1G will be able to communicate with another access point and serves as a bridge.
 
***
 
Access point Gigabyte GN-APO1G can meet the needs of a simple wireless network. In other words, sufficient for the traffic data packets that are not too dense.
 
Plus: The configuration and administration system is easy enough; function as a bridge; equipped facility firmware upgrade.Minus: The stability of the signal is not maximized.
