DWL-2100AP
2.4GHz Wireless LAN
802.11g High-Speed Wireless Access Point
Key Features
The AirPlusXtremeG DWL-2100AP is an enhanced high-performance 802.11g wireless Access Point for use indoors. This
device supports wireless networking speeds of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode), while providing seamless interoperability with
existing 802.11b wireless equipment. With high data transfer rates, better security and built-in bridge function, this device is
the ideal wireless solution that offers an upgrade to a fast, new technology while protecting your past investments through
interoperability with your current network equipment.
Up to 108Mbps Speed on 2.4GHz Frequency Band
Compatible With 802.11b
Flexible Configuration
Easy Migration to Higher Bandwidth
With transmission speeds of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode) on
the popular 2.4GHz public frequency, the DWL-2100 is an
ideal solution for bandwidth intensive WLAN applications. In
a typical working environment with multiple users accessing
the network at the same time, the DWL-2100AP can operate at
15 times the throughput of the normal 802.11b wireless LAN
equipment.
802.11g's compatibility with existing wireless LAN standards
means that you do not need to change your entire network to
maintain connectivity. The DWL-2100AP can transmit data at
up to 108Mbps when used with D-Link AirPlusXtremeG and
other 802.11g products. You may sacrifice some of this speed
when you mix 802.11b with this device, but you will not lose
the ability to communicate.
The DWL-2100AP can be configured to operate in any one of
the 5 modes: (1) as a wireless access point, (2) a point-to-point
bridge with another access point, (3) a point-to-multi-point
wireless bridge, (4) a wireless client or (5) a wireless repeater.
With these built-in functions, the DWL-2100AP gives you the
flexibility to configure the device to meet your environment's
requirements.
By maintaining compatibility with your existing wireless
network equipment, the DWL-2100AP lets you upgrade to a
higher speed at the pace you want. The DWL-2100AP and
other 802.11g standard devices can be gradually added to your
network, while the rest of your older network remains
perfectly connected.

Enhanced security is provided with Wi-Fi Protected Access
to authorize and identify users based on a secret key that
changes automatically at a regular interval. Used in
conjunction with a RADIUS server, WPA employs TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key
every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than
the standard WEP security, which requires the keys to be
changed manually.
The DWL-2100AP supports 802.1x authentication for
protection against network intrusion. Used in conjunction with
a RADIUS server, this function provides a means to verify the
identity of the client before an access to the network is granted.
This function brings a lot of convenience (when used in
conjunction with other 802.11g products) for users that do not
incorporate a RADIUS server in their networks. Utilizing the
Pre Shared Key mode of WPA, the DWL-2100AP gives each
user a new security key every time he connects to the 802.11g
network. Users only need to input their encryption information
once in the configuration menu. With the DWL-2100AP, each
user will automatically receive a new key every time he
connects, the inconvenience of manual WEP key input is
eliminated.
The DWL-2100AP includes an embedded DHCP server that
once enabled will automatically assign IP addresses to wireless
clients. This unique feature makes the DWL-2100AP an ideal
solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local
area network (WLAN) in offices or other workplaces, and at
