Wireless Basics 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 on 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.
Wireless Basics Standards-based Technology The DGL-3420 Wireless Gaming Adapter utilizes the 802.11a, 802.11b and 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. The 802.11a standard also increases the data rate up to 54Mbps,* but within the 5GHz band. Both 802.11a and 802.11g utilize OFDM technology.
