Wireless Basics (continued)
Scalability –
WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of
specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range
from Peer-to-Peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure
networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of
wireless devices deployed.
Inexpensive Solution

Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-G810 High-Speed Ethernet Wireless Bridge utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g
standard. The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard.
a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps*
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-
G810 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest
speed and range possible.
The DWL-G810 is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you
have an existing 802.11b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with
802.11g devices at speeds up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput
will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors lower actual data throughput rate.
