From the Manufacturer
The D-Link DWL-900AP is an IEEE 802.11b Wireless Access Point* with point-to-point bridging capability that provides an easy solution for connecting two locations through a wireless connection. The DWL-900AP utilizes the 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) at 11Mbps with either "point-to-point bridging" or "point-to-multipoint bridging." In addition, the DWL-900AP provides an option to be configured as a client AP instead of a bridge. The DWL-900AP can be managed remotely via the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Manager software. In addition, a USB port is provided for flexibility in configuring the device.
In bridge mode, the DWL-900AP can connect directly to another DWL-900AP to extend the area of coverage for the wireless network. In a network with a DHCP server, the DWL-900AP will automatically obtain an IP address. The DWL-900AP comes with one external detachable antenna. The DWL-900AP implements 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to ensure a secure data network connection.
*A wireless access point is a device that acts as a bridge between a wireless network and wired network. The access point converts data packets over a wired Ethernet LAN into radio signals to be used on the wireless network and vice versa.
