802.11n and 802.11g standards on your own schedule without sacrificing connectivity. • Better security with WPA - The DAP-1353 can securely connect wireless clients on the network using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) to provide a much higher level of security for your data and communications than its previous versions.
Section 2 - Installation Wireless Basics D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide high-speed wireless connectivity that is easy to use within your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products provides you with access to the data you want, whenever and wherever you want it.
OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. The D-Link DAP-1353 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest possible speed and range. 802.11n offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA.
Section 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link AirPremier N wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.
