Overview of the D-Link DWL-2210AP

The D-Link DWL-2210AP provides continuous, high-speed access between your

wireless and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless

networking in small and medium-sized businesses. The D-Link DWL-2210AP enables

zero-administration wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing

state-of-the-art wireless networking features.

The D-Link DWL-2210AP provides best-of-breed security, ease-of-administration and

industry standards, providing a standalone and fully-secured wireless network without

the need for additional management and security server software.

The D-Link DWL-2210AP is a single band access point with one radio capable of

broadcasting in either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g mode.

The following section lists features and beneﬁts of the D-Link DWL-2210AP.
