Introduction to Wireless Networking

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide
easy to use and compatible high speed wireless connectivity within your
home or business. Strictly adhering to IEEE 802.11b the D-Link wireless
family of products will allow you to access the data you want, when and
where you want it. No longer will you be tethered to a workstation or
forced to run new wiring. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that
wireless networking delivers.
Standards Based Technology
Based on IEEE 802.11b, D-Link Air products can throughput data up
to 11 Megabits per second. This means 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 using multiple
frequencies in the 2.4GHz range utilizing Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) technology. D-Link Air products will automatically
sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and
range possible with the technology.
Installation Considerations
Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters
outdoors, D-Link Air lets you access your network from anywhere you
want. Keep in mind, however, that the number of walls, ceilings or other
objects that the wireless signals must pass thru will limit range. Typical
ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise
in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to follow these
basic principles:
