LED blinks during data transmission. Wireless Basics D-Link AirPlus 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. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link AirPlus wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it.
Page 7 Wireless Basics 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. Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers, or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN.
Page 8 Based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, the DI-824VUP+ is interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 54Mbps (with the D-Link AirPlus family of wireless devices,) as well as standard 802.11b technology ( the D-Link Air family of wireless devices), with speeds of up to 11Mbps.
