Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-G510 Wireless G Desktop Adapter 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 data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz 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 (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-
G510 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest
speed and range possible.
The DWL-G510 is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you
have an existing 802.11b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with
802.11g devices at speeds up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.
