Standards Based Technology Based on IEEE 802.11b, D-Link Air products can perform up to 11 Megabits per second. 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. This technology works by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range utilizing Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. D-Link Air products 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 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, D-Link Air lets you access your network from anywhere you want.
