How does the Xtend communicate with my PC or the Internet?
The Xtend takes advantage of amazing new breakthroughs in wireless networking technology. Based on the IEEE 802.11 specification for wireless Ethernet, you can take the Xtend anywhere within range of the wireless base station. The base station is an 802.11 based access point, with a four port switch, allowing for not only wireless access for the Xtend, but also wireless access for other 802.11 equipped computers, as well as hardwired 10BASE-T networking. Additionally, the Xtend also has a 10BASE-T wired Ethernet port if the user requires a higher-speed connection, or for whatever reason the wireless network is not available (for example while traveling).
