Introduction
D-Link, the industry leader in wireless networking, introduces another breakthrough in wireless connectivity. The
D-Link Wireless G DIR-300 Router which is capable of transferring data with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to ³²Mbps* in
the ±.²GHz frequency — the same wireless frequency as 80±.11b. The D-Link DIR-300 Wireless Router also offers four Ethernet
ports to support multiple computers.
The advanced wireless technology built into the DIR-300 Wireless Router offers data transfer speeds with a maximum wireless
signal rate of up to ³²Mbps* through its wireless channels allowing streaming videos and other high bandwidth applications, such
as online gaming events, to operate without the hassle of Ethernet cables. The ability to use high bandwidth applications also makes
streaming real-time programs more enjoyable and more efficient.
With the DIR-300 Wireless Router’s built-in advanced firewall, threats of hackers penetrating your network are minimized. Some
firewall features include functions that allow or disallow certain ports to be open for certain applications. Time scheduling can be
established as a firewall rule so that specific ports will be open at certain times and be closed at other times. Features like content
filtering, MAC filtering, URL blocking, and domain blocking are useful tools to prevent other unwanted intruders from connecting
to your network or browsing restricted sites.
The easy-to-use configuration wizard takes only minutes to setup and guides users step-by-step through configuring the DIR-
300. With all the versatile features and an user-friendly utility, the DIR-300 Wireless Router provides an enhanced networking
experience.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will
adversely affect wireless signal range.
