5D-Link DWA-520 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
•
15 times faster - achieve data transfer speeds up to 108Mbps*; up to 15x faster than conventional 802.11b
networks, when used with other 802.11g devices
• Integrates into existing 802.11b wireless networks - no need to invest in all new devices; the
DWA-520 is interoperable with existing 802.11b devices to provide a wireless data rate of up to
11Mbps*
• Stronger Security than ever before with WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identies users
based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval, for example:
• TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS server, changes the temporal key
every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater security
• Pre Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS server, will obtain a new security
key every time he or she connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the
network.
• Extra Protection - 802.1x Authentication in conjunction with the RADIUS server veries the identity of
would be clients
•
User-friendly conguration and diagnostic utilities allow you to easily discover available wireless networks
and create and save detailed connectivity proles
• Utilizes OFDM technology (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b/g specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput
rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.
