Introduction

The new D-Link AirPro DWL-6000AP Multimode Wireless Access Point is a multimode access point that simultaneously serves both 802.11a wireless connectivity at up to 54 Mbps (108 Mbps in Turbo mode*) and 802.11b wireless connectivity at up to 11Mbps (22 Mbps with D-Link AirPlus products.)

In addition to identifying and communicating with other 802.11a and 802.11b wireless devices, the D-Link AirPro DWL-6000AP access point also builds a bridge between wireless and wired network segments with its integrated 10/ 100 Ethernet port. The multimode access point will automatically obtain an IP address and forward additional IP addresses to multiple clients for a seamless Ethernet network connection and shared Internet access.

Armed with powerful management and security capabilities, the D-Link Air Pro DWL-6000AP has an intuitive and secure web-based interface that is powered by an embedded web server. You can also manage your network with the AP Manager, which is available on the CD that is included in your package. Advanced security is offered with 802.1x support.

After completing the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide (included in your package) not only will you have the ability to share information and resources, but you will also be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers, at speeds capable of handling a video stream.
