BUYING A WIRELESS ROUTER

You might be asking what features should I look for in a wireless router. You will have to ask yourself some questions first.

1. Do you currently have a 802.11b or 802.11g

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

wireless adapter?
2. Do you want to connect remotely to your office network?
3. Do you live in an apartment or house?
4. What security features are you looking for?
5. Do you have desktop compu

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

ters to connect also?

If you currently have a 802.11g wireless adapter you will want to purchase a 802.11g wireless router so you can maximize your network speed at 54mbps. 802.11g adapters will al

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

so connect to 802.11b wireless routers but you will only have a network speed of 11mbps. This speed you still be fine for the majority of users, most public wireless access points use 802.11b.

Conn

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

ecting securely to your home office will require a technology called a VPN or virtual private network. Most routers will claim to have the ability to use VPN’s but when you attempt to connect you receive no

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Wireless router security could fill up volumes so I will keep it as “simple” as possible. The following are some basic features that are on most routers:

1. Disabling SSI

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

D broadcasting
2. Change your default SSID
3. Enable WEP encryption
4. Enable MAC address filtering

If you enable the above you will discourage most “hackers” from even looking at your wiele

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

The following are some of the more advanced Security features on newer routers with updated firmware.

1. WPA – WPA is

2. WPA-PSK (Wireless Protected Area pre shared key) This is really easy to set up just copy your s

3. TKIP – The second best version of encryption for WPA

4. AES – This is the highest version of encryption for WPA

5. WPA –RADIUS uses a RADIUS server t

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

Another newer feature is Called MIMO (Multi in Multi out) the basic concept of this your router or access point has more that just two antennas which enables your rout

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

r to receive and send information at a greater rate. This creates signal reflections which could reduce dead spots in your network. Add on top of this SRX technology will automatically have your router switch to t

he clearest channel instead of staying on a channel with interference. The above will increase your range greatly and the increase the power of your signal.

Another router feature is POE (Power over Ethernet) thi

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

s is a really good feature for business environment because you power your router through the Ethernet cable, which means you don’t need a power outlet.

One feature which is often over looked but one of the coole

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

st features of a wireless router or access point is the ability of act as a wireless bridge. If you have a huge ware house and you need to connect computers on either end of the warehouse you can use a wir

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

The main things to remember are: 802.11g is faster than 802.11b, enable the basic security features and finally choose the router that will fit your needs

tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products

Many companies, particularly in the B2B space, who don’t have an ecommerce site mistakenly believe that because they don’t have an online transaction presence they shouldn’t be focused on generating leads through the Internet. Why is this? Well they mistakenly equate online lead generation with online sales. They are two different things.
