Description
The D-Link DWL-900AP is an IEEE 802.11b Wireless Access Point* with point-to-point bridging capability that provides an easy solution for connecting two locations through a wireless connection. A USB port is provided for flexibility in configuring the device.
The D-Link DWL-900AP is an IEEE 802.11b Wireless Access Point
** with point-to-point bridging capability that provides an easy solution for connecting two locations through a wireless connection. The DWL-900AP utilizes the 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 11Mbps
* with either "point-to-point bridging" or "point-to-multipoint bridging." In addition, the DWL-900AP provides an option to be configured as a client AP instead of a bridge. The DWL-900AP can be managed remotely via the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Manager software. In addition, a USB port is provided for flexibility in configuring the device.
In bridge mode, the DWL-900AP can connect directly to another DWL-900AP to extend the area of coverage for the wireless network. In a network with a DHCP server, the DWL-900AP will automatically obtain an IP address. The DWL-900AP comes with one external detachable antenna. The DWL-900AP implements 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to ensure a secure data network connection.
* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11b specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
** A wireless access point is a device that acts as a bridge between a wireless network and wired network. The access point converts data packets over a wired Ethernet LAN into radio signals to be used on the wireless network and vice versa.
