Standards-Based Technology

The DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapter 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 data rate up to 54Mbps (108Mbps in Super G mode) 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-G820 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.

802.11g offers WPA, the most advanced network security features available today.
