The DWL-2700AP Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g

standards.

The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the

maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM

technology.

This means that in most environments, within the speciﬁed range of this device, you will

be able to transfer large ﬁles quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your

network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed

digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)

technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals

that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM

reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.

The D-Link DWL-2700AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed

to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.

The DWL-2700AP offers the most advanced network security features available today,

including WPA and WPA2.

In addition to its compatibility with 802.11g devices, the DWL-2700AP is compatible

with 802.11b devices. This means that if you have an existing 802.11b network, or a

network with a mixture of 802.11g and 802.11b, the devices in that network will be

compatible with the DWL-2700AP.

*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g speciﬁcations. Actual data throughput will vary. Network

conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trafﬁc, building materials and construction, and network overhead,

lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.
