DI-634M User's Manual Introduction Introduction The D-Link DI-634M Wireless 108G MIMO Router is an 802.11g high-performance, wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most routers, the DI-634M provides data transfers at up to 108Mbps* (compared to the standard 54Mbps) when used with other D-Link Wireless 108G MIMO and AirPlus Xtreme G™ Products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g's speed when you mix 802.11b and 802.11g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard into your 802.11b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices . In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds when used with other 802.11g products, the DI-634M has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available today. When used with other 802.11g WPA (WiFi Protected Access) compatible products in a network, the security features include: WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security. By contrast, the older WEP encryption required the keys to be changed manually. The DI-634M router includes an easy-to-use installation wizard located on the D-Link CD. Simply insert the CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions.Your router will automatically be configured. D-Link Systems, Inc. 5

Introduction
Introduction
The D-Link DI-634M Wireless 108G MIMO Router is an 802.11g high-performance,
wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in
public places.
Unlike most routers, the DI-634M provides data transfers at up to 108Mbps* (compared
to the standard 54Mbps) when used with other D-Link Wireless 108G MIMO and
Air
Plus
Xtreme G™
Products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b
products. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain
connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g’s speed when you mix 802.11b and
802.11g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate
the 802.11g standard into your 802.11b network.
You may choose to slowly change
your network by gradually replacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices .
In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds when used with other 802.11g products,
the DI-634M has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available today.
When used with other 802.11g WPA (WiFi Protected Access) compatible products in
a network, the security features include:
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access
authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at a regular interval.
WPA
uses
TKIP
(
Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol
) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a
kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security than
the standard WEP security. By contrast, the older WEP encryption required the keys
to be changed manually.
The DI-634M router includes an easy-to-use installation wizard located on the D-Link
CD. Simply insert the CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. Your
router will automatically be configured.
