SMC Networks announced the newest member of its EZ Connect family of wireless networking products: the SMC2870W 2.4GHz 54Mbps Wireless Multi-Mode Device. The SMC2870W 802.11g adapter installs and communicates without drivers. It can be configured to serve as a wireless access point, to provide network access to other wireless 802.11g and 802.11b devices; as a repeater, through its support for Wireless Distribution System (WDS), to extend the range of a wireless 2.4GHz network using either a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configuration. The SMC2870W will be available in November.
