Standards - Based Technology

The IEEE standard-based technology assures that this product is interoperable with existing compatible wireless technology. This means you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. The technology works by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range. This D-Link AirPlus product will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology.

Installation Considerations

Designed to go up to 984 feet (300 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100 meters) indoors, the D-Link AirPlus DWL-810+ lets you access your network devices wirelessly from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the wireless signal must pass thru may limit range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and any background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1.Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-810+ and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-520+) to a minimum - Each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus Wireless product’s range from 3- 90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your DWL-810+, Access Points, Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2.Be aware of the direct line between the DWL-810+ and the device with which it communicates, as well as between Access Points, Residential Gateways (routers), and computers. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5
