Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The DAP-2310 802.11n AP increases productivity by allowing you to work faster and more eciently. With the DAP-2310,
bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benet signicantly because large les are now able to move
across the network quickly.
The DAP-2310 is capable of operating in one of four dierent wireless networking modes: Access Point, WDS (Wireless Distribution
System) with AP, WDS, or Wireless Client mode.
An ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in oces or other workplaces, trade
shows, and special events, the DAP-2310 provides data transfer rates up to 300Mbps. (The 802.11n standard is backwards
compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices.)
WPA/WPA2 is oered in two options: Enterprise (used for corporations) and Personal (used for home users).
WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are directed towards home users who do not have the server-based equipment required
for user authentication. This method of authentication is similar to WEP because you dene a “Pre-Shared Key” on the wireless
router/AP. Once the pre-shared key is conrmed and satised at both the client and access point, access is then granted. The
encryption method used is referred to as the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which oers per-packet dynamic hashing. It
also includes an integrity checking feature which ensures that the packets were not tampered with during wireless transmission.
WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are ideal for businesses that already have existing security infrastructures established.
Management and security implementation can now be centralized on a server participating on the network. Utilizing 802.1X
with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server, a network administrator can dene a list of authorized
users who can access the wireless LAN. When attempting to access a wireless LAN with WPA-Enterprise congured, the new
client will be requested to enter a username with a password. If the new client is authorized by the administration, and enters
the correct username and password, then access is granted. In the case where an employee leaves the company, the network
administrator is able to remove the previous employee from the authorized list to avoid compromising the network.

Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide high-speed wireless connectivity that is easy to use within
your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products provides you with access to the data you
want, whenever and wherever you want it. Enjoy the freedom that wireless networking can bring to you.
WLAN use is not only increasing in both home and oce environments, but in public areas as well, such as airports, coee
shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are allowing people to work and communicate more
eciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other types of xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial
to many users.
Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards, allowing
wireless users to use the same applications as those used on a wired network.
People use WLAN technology for many dierent purposes:
Mobility - productivity increases when people can have access to data in any location within the operating range of
their WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can signicantly improve the eciency of a worker.
Low implementation costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change
can benet from WLAN's ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be
impractical.
Installation and network expansion - by avoiding the complications of troublesome cables, a WLAN system can be fast
and easy during installation, especially since it can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless
technology provides more versatility by extending the network beyond the home or oce.
Inexpensive solution - wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices.
The DAP-2310 saves money by providing users with multi-functionality congurable in four dierent modes.
Scalability - Congurations can be easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer networks, suitable for a small number
of users to larger Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number
of wireless devices deployed.

Standards-Based Technology
The DAP-2310 Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards.
The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11b and 802.11g standards that came before it. It increases the maximum
wireless signal rate up to 300Mbps* within the 2.4GHz bands, utilizing OFDM technology.
This means that in most environments - within the specied range of this device - you will be able to transfer large les quickly,
or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting
high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM
works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then simultaneously transmitted at dierent
frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The D-Link DAP-2310 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest possible speed and
range.
IEEE 802.11n oers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g specications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link AirPremier® N wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere
within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls,
ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on
the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless
range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the access point and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that
the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 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 devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.
3. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on the
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall
or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks),
mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not
in use.

QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) enhances the experience of using a network by prioritizing the trac of dierent applications. A QoS
Rule identies a specic message ow and assigns a priority to that ow. For most applications, the priority classiers ensure
the right priorities and specic QoS Rules are not required. QoS supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches
a specic message ow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.
QoS (Quality of
Service):
HTTP:
Automatic:
Enable this option if you want to allow QoS to
prioritize your trac Priority Classiers.
Allows the access point to recognize HT TP
transfers for many common audio and video
streams and prioritize them above other trac.
Such streams are frequently used by digital media
players.
When enabled, this option causes the access
point to automatically attempt to prioritize trac
streams that it does not otherwise recognize,
based on the behavior that the streams exhibit.
This acts to de-prioritize streams that exhibit bulk
transfer characteristics, such as le transfers, while
leaving interactive trac, such as gaming or VoIP,
running at a normal priority.
