D-Link DWL-5000AP 802.11a Wireless Air Pro Access Point

Product Description

Designed for indoor use, the D-LinkAir Pro DWL-5000AP is a powerful wireless access point that operates in the 5 GHz frequency band using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to provide higher data rates. It identifies and communicates with wireless devices to maintain a connection with transparent bridging and roaming capabilities.The D-LinkAir Pro access point also builds a bridge between wireless and wired segments of a network. The DWL-5000AP will automatically obtain an IP address and forward additional IPs to multiple 802.11a wireless clients for a seamless Ethernet network connection.

At 54 megabits per second (Mbps), the WL-5000AP 5 GHz high-speed access point delivers the fastest standards-based wireless technology in the industry. With both WiFi5 certification compatibility and IEEE 802.11a standard compliance, the D-LinkAir Pro DWL-5000AP access point provides excellent network interoperability.

A proprietary turbo mode allows the DWL-5000AP to operate at significantly greater data rates, up to 72 Mbps. Eight nonoverlapping channels create less interference, which supplies higher average cell throughput to clients. The D-LinkAir Pro DWL-5000AP employs enhanced 152-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and dynamic key exchange (DKE) to protect data from unauthorized access.
