*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. 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.

Introduction

The D-Link DI-624M Super G MIMO Wireless Router is an 802.11g high-perf ormance, wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.
Unlike most routers, the DI-624M provides data transfers at up to 108 Mbps* (compared to the standard 54 Mbps) when used with other D-Link Super G MIMO 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 y ou mix 802.11b and 802.11g de vices, b ut you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard into your
802.11b network. You may choose to slo wly 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-624M has the newest, strongest, most adv anced security features available toda y . When used with other 802.11g WPA (WiFi Protected Access) compatible products in a network, the security features include:
Introduction
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.)

Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.
A WLAN is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently . Increased mobility and the absence of cab ling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Wireless Basics
People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes: Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location
within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs – WLANs are easy to set up , manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be f ast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or office.
Scalability – WLANs can be configured in a v ariety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are 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.
Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices.

Standards-Based Technology
The DI-624M Super G MIMO Wireless Router utiliz es the 802.11g standard. The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
data rate up to 54Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, 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 transmitting high­speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works b y splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver . OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interf erence) in signal transmissions.
The DI-624M is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you have an existing 802.11b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with
802.11g devices at speeds of up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.
Wireless Basics
Installation Considerations
The D-Link DI-624MSuper G MIMO Wireless Router lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. 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 k ey to maximizing wireless range is to f ollow these basic guidelines:
1 Keep the number of w alls and ceilings between the DI-624M and other network
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link wireless product’s r ange 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 can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum
studs may hav e a negative effect on range . Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
4 Keep y our product aw a y (at least 3-6 f eet or 1-2 meters) from electrical

devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise.

Using the Configuration Menu
The DI-624M can be configured as a virtual ser ver so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DI-624M firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DI-624M are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Vir tual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DI-624M redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DI-624M is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer .
