Section 1 - Product Overview Features • Faster Wireless Networking - The DSL-2641B provides up to 270Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11g wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. • Compatible with 802.11b Devices - The DSL-2641B is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and g standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11b and g PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters. • DHCP Support - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns all LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur. • Network Address Translation (NAT) - For small office environments, the DSL-2641B allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user. NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection. • High Performance - Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to 24Mbps downstream bit rate using the G.dmt standard. (For ADSL2+) • Easy Installation - The DSL-2641B uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be used to manage the Router. *Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard 802.11g. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range. D-Link DSL-2641B User Manual 5
