D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a performance breakthrough in wireless connectivity - the D-Link AirPremier DWL-2200AP Wireless Access Point now capable of delivering maximum wireless signal rate of up to 15x faster than that of standard 802.11b with D-Link 108G technology. The DWL-2200AP is an ideal solution for creating a wireless network or extending the range of an existing wireless network. For advanced installations, this new high speed Wireless Access Point comes with base unit and has an integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) port that allows you to install the device in areas where power outlets are not readily available. The DWL-2200AP provides maximum wireless security by supporting both WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1x for optimal data protection. Other security features included in this Access Point are MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast, and support for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Encryption. To maximize your return on investment, the DWL-2200AP can be configured in any one of four modes: Access Point, Point-to-Point (PtP) bridge with another DWL-2200AP, Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) bridge, or Repeater. For compatibility with other D-Link hardware, the DWL-2200AP uses Wireless Distribution System (WDS) technology when running in Repeater mode. The DWL-2200AP delivers extremely fast wireless performance with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 108Mbps . These high data rates are achieved through the use of several feature enhancements like Turbo Mode, Compression, Packet Bursting, and FastFrames, which are fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards. Network administrators can manage all the DWL-2200AP's settings via its Web-based configuration utility or with Telnet. For advanced network management, administrators can use D-Link's AP Manager or D-View SNMP management module to configure multiple access points from a single location. With integrated PoE support, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the new D-Link AirPremier DWL-2200AP Wireless Access Point provides everything needed to easily set up a wireless network in your workplace, or to simply extend the range of your wireless signal.
