Standards - Based Technology
The IEEE standard-based technology assures that this product is
interoperable with existing compatible wireless technology. This means you
will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG
format over your network without noticeable delays. The technology works
by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range. This D-Link AirPlus
product will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to
ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology.
Installation Considerations
Designed to go up to 984 feet (300 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100
meters) indoors, the D-Link AirPlus DWL-810+ lets you access your network
devices wirelessly from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in
mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or
other objects that the wireless signal must pass thru may limit range. Typical
ranges vary depending on the types of materials and any background RF
(radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing
range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-810+ and your
receiving device (e.g., the DWL-520+) to a minimum - Each wall or
ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus Wireless product's range from 3-
90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your DWL-810+, Access Points,
Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls or
ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between the DWL-810+ and the device with
which it communicates, as well as between Access Points, Residential
Gateways (routers), and computers. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5
