Section 1 - Product Overview

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 oce environments, but in public areas as well, such as airports, coee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are allowing people to work and communicate more eciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other types of xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial 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 dierent 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 signicantly improve the eciency of a worker.
Low implementation costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benet 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 oce.
Inexpensive solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. The DAP-2690 saves money
by providing users with multi-functionality congurable in four dierent modes.
Scalability - Congurations 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.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Standards-Based Technology
The DAP-2690 Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards.
The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.1g standards that came before it. It increases the maximum wireless signal rate up to 300 Mbps* within both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands, utilizing OFDM technology.
This means that in most environments - within the specied 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 dierent frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The D-Link DAP-2690 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest possible speed and range.
Note: 802.11n oers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, 802.11a and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Installation

Installation Considerations

The D-Link wireless device 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 D-Link device 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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on 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.

Select either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
Use the drop-down menu to turn the wireless function On or O.
The dierent combination of clients that can be supported include Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b, Mixed
802.11g and 802.11b, and 802.11n Only in the 2.4 GHz band and Mixed 802.11n and 802.11a, 802.11a only, and 802.11n Only in the 5 GHz band. Please note that when backwards compatibility is enabled for legacy (802.11a/g/b) clients, degradation of 802.11n wireless performance is expected.
Indicate the base transfer rate of wireless adapters on the wireless LAN. The AP will adjust the base transfer rate depending on the base rate of the connected device. If there are obstacles or interference, the AP will step down the rate. This option is enabled in Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b mode (for 2.4 GHz) and 802.11a only mode (for 5 GHz). The choices available are Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and 6 for 5 GHz and Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6, 11,

Beacon Interval
(40-500):
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, 802.11a and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.
Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value in milliseconds. The default (100) is recommended. Setting a higher beacon interval can help to save the power of wireless clients, while setting a lower one can help a wireless client connect to an access point faster.

Select a Delivery Trac Indication Message setting between 1 and 15. 1 is the default setting. DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
This setting determines the power level of the wireless transmission. Transmitting power can be adjusted to eliminate overlapping of wireless area coverage between two access points where interference is a major concern. For example, if wireless coverage is intended for half of the area, then select 50% as the option. Use the drop-down menu to select 100%, 50%, 25%, or 12.5%.
WMM stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia. Enabling this feature will improve the user experience for audio and video applications over a Wi-Fi network.
To eectively optimize throughput over long distance links enter a value for Acknowledgement Time Out between 25 and 200 microseconds for 5 GHz or from 48 to 200 microseconds in the 2.4 GHz in the eld provided.
Select Enable or Disable. Enabling a short guard interval can increase throughput. However, be aware that it can also increase the error rate in some installations due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency installations.
Select Enable or Disable. Internet Group Management Protocol allows the AP to recognize IGMP queries and reports sent between routers and an IGMP host (wireless STA). When IGMP snooping is enabled, the AP will forward multicast packets to an IGMP host based on IGMP messages passing through the AP.
