D-Link AG DI-784 manual Introduction

Introduction

At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DI-784, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly. This versatile wireless router also features four times the number of non-overlapping channels than a device that supports only 802.11g, so more users can access the network.

Support for all three standards (802.11g; 802.11a; 802.11b) means that you can grow your network without having to worry about legacy wireless equipment being incompatible with newer compliant devices from other manufacturers. This also allows network administrators to partition the usage of the dualband by segmenting users and creating special access privilege networks for classified document transfer and communications.

With the DI-784 you can securely connect to wireless clients on the network using 802.1x for wireless user authentication, as well as WPA (Wi-Fi Protected AccessTM) providing you a much higher level of security for your data and communications than has previously been available.

Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DI-784 lets you control the information that is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server:

Content Filtering – Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, IP Address, URL and /or Domain Name.

Filter Scheduling – Filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.

Network Address Translation – NAT protects the DI-784 and its users from outside intruders gaining access to your private network

VPN Multiple/Concurrent Sessions – Supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so multiple users behind the DI-784 can access corporate networks through various VPN clients more securely.
