Standards-based Technology

The DWL-8200AP Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11a, 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*
(maximum wireless signal rate of up to 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-8200AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.
The DWL-8200AP offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA and WPA2.
In addition to its compatibility with 802.11g and 802.11a devices, the DWL-8200AP 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, 802.11a and 802.11b, the devices in that network will be
compatible with the DWL-8200AP.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a and 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.
