D-Link Systems, Inc.
Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-3200AP 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 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-3200AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed
to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.
802.11g offers WPA, the most advanced network security features available today.

*”Maximum wireless signal rate derived from 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 throughout rate.”
