Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity
within your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link's new AQUILA PRO AI products allow you to conveniently and
reliably access your network with Wi-Fi 6 mesh system for improved coverage and speeds. Furthermore, you will be able to enjoy
the efficacy of network management that AI-empowered traffic prioritization and Wi-Fi environment optimization delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of
wires. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people work and communicate more efficiently. The most recent Wi-
Fi 6 has substantial gains over previous generations in speeds and encryption strength. It achieves faster speeds by communicating
with multiple clients more efficiently through techniques such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and
Overlapping Basic Service Sets (OBSS). OFDMA improves channel utilization while OBSS further eliminates network congestion.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. To enjoy the mobility of wireless network more safely in
office environments and public areas such as airports, shops and universities, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security method is
commonly employed. It uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The advanced WPA3 implements
the strongest password security via Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE). The Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
of WPA3 enhances the protection against dictionary attacks.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use
servers, printers, or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A combination of AQUILA PRO AI series router and
extenders provides this link and whole-house coverage with a significantly faster speed.
