Standards-Based Technology
The DI-624 Wireless Broadband Router utilizes the new 802.11g standard.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
data rate up to 54Mbps* 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 DI-624 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 of up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.
Wireless Basics (continued)
*Maximum wireless signal rate based on 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.
