3. Wireless Basics
With the DWL-G810 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-G810 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-G810. 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.

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
XtremeG 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 XtremeG DWL-G810 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-G810 and your
receiving device (e.g., the DWL-2000AP+) to a minimum - Each wall or
ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus XtremeG Wireless product’s
range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your DWL-G810, 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-G810 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
10
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-G810, 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-G810 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-G810
(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-G810’s.
