Wireless Basics (continued)
Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
maximum wireless signal rate up to 54Mbps* within the 2.4GHz band, 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 transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM
reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. The D-Link
DWL-G710 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the
greatest speed and range possible.
The DWL-G710 is compatible, in default mode, with the following wireless products:
D-Link AirPlus

G DWL-G510
Wireless PCI Adapter used with desktop computers
D-Link AirPlus
TM
G DWL-G630
Wireless Cardbus Adapter used with laptop computers

G DI-524
Wireless Router
The DWL-G710 is also interoperable with other 802.11g and 802.11b
standards-compliant devices.
*Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will
vary. Network conditions and environmental factors lower actual data throughput rate.
