Trendnet tew-638apb 300mbps Wireless N Access Point

Product Description

The TRENDNET tew-638apb is a 300Mbps Wireless N access point built for flexible network deployment in both residential and light commercial environments. It supports multiple operating modes including Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), Wireless Bridge, and AP Client, making it adaptable to a range of infrastructure needs. MIMO antenna technology extends wireless coverage beyond single-antenna designs, and WPA/WPA2 encryption secures the network. GREENnet technology reduces energy consumption by up to 50 percent compared to standard operation, which lowers ongoing power costs in always-on deployments.

The tew-638apb is suited for installations where extending an existing wireless network without running additional cabling is the goal. WDS mode allows multiple access points to link wirelessly, expanding coverage across larger spaces. Wireless Bridge mode connects wired-only devices such as game consoles, printers, and digital video recorders (DVR) to an existing wireless network. AP Client mode enables a wired device to join a wireless network as a client. Network administrators and IT professionals typically deploy this unit in small offices, warehouses, or multi-room residential settings where wired backhaul to every endpoint is not practical.
