Wireless Basics With the DWL-G810 you can provide instant wireless access to the LAN

(Local Area Network) for Ethernet-enabled devices. With an Ethernet (CAT5) cable simply connect the DWL-G810 to the Ethernet port of a network device

(such as a printer or web camera) to establish a wireless connection with another device equipped with a wireless network adapter set to Ad-Hoc mode. If you are planning a larger wireless network, D-Link offers a wide array of products for most of your wireless local area network (WLAN) needs. In this section, we discuss typical WLANs and their components. Much of the advice given here may be helpful in setting up the DWL-G810. It may also give you some ideas, if you plan to expand your wireless network. 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 wherever a wireless network is available. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want, when and where you want it. No longer will you be limited to one location or forced to run new wiring through your home or office. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings. A WLAN is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility with the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure has proven to be beneficial 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. For most users, there is no noticeable functional difference between a wired Ethernet computer and a wireless computer equipped with a wireless adapter other than the added benefit of to roam within a wireless-cell. 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 (AP) is one device used to provide this link. the ability 7 Wireless Basics People use WLAN technology for many different purposes. Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency. Low Implementation Costs WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change, both physically and logically, can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical. Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to install cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or office. Inexpensive Solution Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. Scalability - WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks of thousands of users that allow roaming over a broad area. The DWL-G810 is compatible with the D-Link Wireless family of products, and other 802.11g/b products, including:

DWL-624 High-Speed 802.11g Wireless Router

DWL-624+ Enhanced 802.11g Wireless Router

DWL-2000AP High-Speed 802.11g Access Point

DWL-520+ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI card for desktop PCs

DWL-900AP+ Wireless Access Point

DI-614+ Wireless Router Standards - Based Technology The is interoperable with existing compatible wireless technology. This means you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. The technology works by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range. This D-Link AirPlus XtremeG product will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology. Installation Considerations Designed to go up to 984 feet (300 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100 meters) indoors, the D-Link AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G810 lets you access your network devices wirelessly from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the wireless signal must pass thru may limit range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and any background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G810 and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-2000AP+) to a minimum - Each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus XtremeG Wireless products range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your DWL-G810, Access Points, Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 2. Be aware of the direct line between the DWL-G810 and the device with which it communicates, as well as between Access Points, Residential Gateways (routers), and computers. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 9 Wireless Basics meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position Access Points and Adapters so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. 3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position the DWL-G810, the Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials. 4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-G810 transmits and receives data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection. 4. Getting Started Setup #1:
