Introduction
At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (up to 108Mbps in Super G
mode), you can work faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DWL-2100AP,
bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly
because large files are able to move across the network quickly.
The DWL-2100AP iscapable of operating in one of 5 different modes to meet your
wireless networking needs. The DWL-2100AP can operate as an access point; in access
point-to-access point bridging mode; access point-to-multipoint bridging mode; wireless
client mode; or repeater.
The DWL-2100AP is an ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local
area network (WLAN) in offices or otherworkplaces, trade shows and special events.
Unlike most access points, the DWL-2100AP provides data transfers at up to 108 Mbps
TM
in Super G mode when used with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G products. The 802.11g
standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices.
The DWL-2100AP has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available
today. When used with other 802.11g WPA (WiFiProtected Access) compatible products
in a network with a RADIUS server, the security features include:
WPA:

Wi-Fi Protected Access which authorizes and identifies users based on
a secret key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA uses
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key
every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over anetwork.) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP
security. (By contrast, the previous WEP encryption implementation
required the keys to be changed manually.)

For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the security
for the DWL-2100AP, used in conjunction with other WPA-compatible 802.11 products,
will still be much stronger than ever before....
