The PLANET WRT-415 is an 802.11g wireless router that supports high-speed wireless network for home or SOHO users. The WRT-415 provides speed up to 54 Mbps when it is used with other 802.11g products. The standard of 802.11g is compatible with 802.11b products. There is no need to change existing network in order to maintain connectivity. You may have to sacrifice some of 802.11g¡¦s performance when you use 802.11b and 802.11g devices in the same WLAN network, but you still can keep the ability to communicate when you deployed the 802.11g standard into 802.11b network.

The WRT-415 supports the most advanced secure features available today: WPA/WPA2. WPA /WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA/WPA2 uses TKIP or AES to change the temporal key periodically. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP's. (By contrast, the older WEP encryption requires the keys to be changed manually.).
