Standards-Based Technology

The DAP-2553 Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards.
The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards that came before it. It
increases the maximum wireless signal rate up to 300Mbps* within both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands, utilizing * within both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz 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 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 simultaneously
transmitted at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal
transmissions.
The D-Link DAP-2553 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest possible
speed and range.
IEEE 802.11n offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building
materials and construction, and network overhead can lower actual data throughout rate.
