D-Link Air DWL 1000AP

The D-Link DWL-1000AP is an IEEE 802.11b-compliant 11 Mbps Ethernet wireless access point. Once activated with the network, it provides Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) operation for wireless networks delivering transparent bridging and roaming capabilities for wireless nodes. The D-Link DWL-1000AP provides an access point connections building infrastructure for the network or to extend the reach of the network communications capability. It enables full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell. The range of coverage per cell for indoor use is up to 100 meters and up to 300 meter per cell for outdoor use. DWL-1000AP operates in 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) for wireless networks in the home or office environment with transparent bridging and roaming capabilities. The DWL-1000AP can be managed remotely via the access point manager software. It also supports WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), MAC address control and user authentication to ensure a secure network connection. In bridge mode, the DWL-1000AP can be directly connected to a Broadband Residential Gateway or a DSL/cable modem for high-speed wireless Internet access. On a dynamic network connection, the DWL-1000AP will automatically obtain an IP address and forward additional IP's to multiple 802.11b wireless clients for a seamless Ethernet LAN connection. The DWL-1000AP fully supports roaming capabilities for each wireless client up to 100 meters for indoor use and up to 300 meters for outdoor use. The DWL-1000AP can search for additional access points using the DWL-1000AP access point manager software. The D-Link DWL-1000AP will automatically identify the IP of the host PC as well as the subnet when connected on to an Ethernet LAN in the home or office environment. In addition, with the easy-to-use access point manager software, the IP address of the DWL-1000AP can also be manually assigned.
