D-Link DWL-3260AP [8/109] Standards based technology

Standards-Based Technology

The DWL-3260AP 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 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.

This means that in most environments, within the specied range of this device, you will be able

to transfer large les 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-3260AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure

the greatest speed and range possible.

802.11g offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA and

WPA2.

*”Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network

conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead
