108Mbps1 Wireless Networking

Up to 108Mbps1 with D-Link 108G Products

Improved Wireless Security with WPA and 802.1X Authentication

SNMP Management Software Included

More Mobility with WDS and Five Operational Modes

D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a performance breakthrough in wireless connectivity – D-LinkAirPlus Xtreme GTM series of high-speed devices now capable of delivering transfer rates up to 15x faster than the standard 802.11b with the new D-Link 108G. With the new AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-2100AP Wireless Access Point, D-Link sets a new standard for wireless access points.

With the D-Link 108G enhancement, the DWL-2100AP can achieve wireless speeds up to 15x in a pure D-Link 108G environment through the use of new wireless technologies such as Packet Bursting, Fast Frame, Compression & Encryption, and Turbo mode.These technologies enable a throughput high enough to handle video/audio streaming and future bandwidth-intense applications. The DWL-2100AP also supports SNMP v.3 for better network management with the provided Wireless AP Manager software that manages network configuration and firmware upgrades. For Enterprise networks, the DWL-2100AP supports network administration and real-time network traffic monitoring via D-Link’s D-View Network Management software.

The DWL-2100AP features WDS (Wireless Distribution System) that can be configured to perform in any one of five modes: a Wireless Access Point, a Point-to-Point (PtP) bridge with another DWL-2100AP, a Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) bridge, a Repeater for range extension, or as a Wireless Client. The WDS feature makes the DWL-2100AP an ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in offices or other workplaces, or even at hotspots.

Wireless security is addressed as the DWL-2100AP uses WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1X authentication to provide a higher level of security for data communication amongst wireless clients. The DWL-2100AP is also fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards. With great manageability, versatile operation modes, solid security enhancement, the cost-effective D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-2100AP Wireless Access Point provides the ultra-fast wireless signal rates and everything else a network professional dreams of.
