Appendix A - 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. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link

wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able

to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of

wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and oce environments, and public areas such as airports, coee shops

and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more eciently.

Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop

systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

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 Wireless Access point is a device used to

provide this link.
