Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity
within your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link’s new EAGLE PRO AI products allow you to conveniently and
reliably access your network with Wi-Fi 6 mesh system for improved coverage and speeds. Furthermore, you will be able to enjoy
the ecacy of network management that AI-empowered trac prioritization and Wi-Fi environment optimization delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead
of wires. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more eciently. The most
recent Wi-Fi 6 has substantial gains over previous generations in speeds and encryption strength. It achieves faster speeds by
communicating with multiple clients more eciently through techniques such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
(OFDMA) and Overlapping Basic Service Sets (OBSS). OFDMA improves channel utilization while OBSS further eliminates network
congestion.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. To enjoy the mobility of wireless network more safely in
oce environments and public areas such as airports, shops and universities, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security method is
commonly employed. It uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The advanced WPA3 implements
the strongest password security via Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE). The Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
of WPA3 enhances the protection against dictionary attacks.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to
use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A combination of Eagle Pro AI series router and
extenders provides this links and whole-house coverage with signicantly faster speeds .
