3. Wireless Basics

With the DWL-810+ 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-810+ 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-810+. 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 the ability 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.

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.

Standards - Based Technology

The IEEE standard-based technology assures that this product 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

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 DWL-810+ 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-810+ and your

receiving device (e.g., the DWL-520+) to a minimum - Each wall or

ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus Wireless product’s range from 3-

90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your DWL-810+, 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-810+ 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

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-810+, 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-810+ transmits and

receives data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.

4. Getting Started

Setup #1:

This example illustrates an Ad-Hoc setup. Simply connect the DWL-810+

(refer to the Quick Installation Guide) to your Ethernet-capable network

device (in this case, a gaming console) and you will be able to connect

wirelessly with other gaming consoles also connected to DWL-810+’s.
