DWL-300AP User’s Manual
D-Link Systems, Inc.
Standards-based Technology
The DWL-300AP Managed Wireless Access Point 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 of up to 54Mbps* (maximum wireless signal rate of up to 108Mbps* in Super
G mode)
within the .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
(

F

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-300AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure
the greatest speed and range possible.
80.11g offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA and
WPA.

*”Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 80.11g 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 throughout rate.”
