Introduction
Introduction
At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices you can work faster and
more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the
DWL-2700AP
, bandwidth-intensive
applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are
able to move across the network quickly.
The
DWL-2700AP
is capable of operating in one of 3 different modes to meet your
wireless networking needs. The
DWL-2700AP
can operate as an access point, or in
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) with AP, or in WDS mode.
Use less wiring, enjoy increased flexibility, save time and money with PoE (Power over
Ethernet). With PoE, the
DWL-2700AP
shares power and data over the CAT5 cable,
making the setup of your network less expensive and more convenient.
An ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN)
in offices or other workplaces, trade shows and special events, the
DWL-2700AP
provides
data transfers at up to 54Mbps* when used with other D-Link

(The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices).
WPA is offered in two flavors:
Enterprise
(used for corporations), and
Personal
(used
for home users).
WPA2-Personal
and
WPA2-Personal
is directed at home users who do not have the
server based equipment required for user authentication. The method of authentication
is similar to WEP because you define a “Pre-Shared Key” on the wireless router/AP.
Once the pre-shared key is confirmed and satisfied on both the client and access point,
then access is granted. The encryption method used is referred to as the Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which offers per-packet dynamic hashing. It also includes an
integrity checking feature which ensures that the packets were not tampered with during
wireless transmission.
WPA2-Personal
is far superior to
WPA2-Personal
, because the
encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead,
lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.
