Standards-Based Technology
The DAP-2590 Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n (draft) standards.
The IEEE 802.11n (draft) standard is an extension of the 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.1g standards that came before it. It increases the
maximum wireless signal rate up to 300 Mbps� within both the 2.4 �Hz and the 5 �Hz bands, utilizing OFDM technology. � within both the 2.4 �Hz and the 5 �Hz bands, 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 MPE� 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 simultaneously transmitted at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount
of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The D-Link DAP-2590 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest possible speed and range.
Note: 802.11n offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA.
�Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, 802.11a and Draft 802.11n 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. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.
