About:
In order to implement a wireless connection between the CarPC and
my house, I needed a good wireless solution. For this I contacted
D-Link, and they were kind enough to provide me with everything
I needed. The DI-614+ is one of the key components. It acts as the
router between the wireless network, the Ethernet LAN clients and
my RoadRunner broadband connection. This will allow me to establish
a wireless connection from the car to the computers in the house
to access data as well as to access the Internet.
The product features security, including rule-based firewall protection
as well as domain blocking, IP blocking, MAC address blocking, and
URL blocking. For wireless security it features 64, 128, and 256bit
WEP in both ASCII and HEX keys. Also supported are IPSEC, LLTP,
and PPTP, great for those wanting to setup a VPN.

(Added February 16, 2004 ) After continuing to experience numerous problems with this router over a period of time, including lockups and very poor wireless signal, I have decided to decommission it. I currently have it replaced with a Linksys WRV54G.

About:
The DWL-900AP+ is another key component in establishing wireless
connectivity to the car. In order to establish a connection between
the car and DI-614+, the signal has to go through several thick
walls that diminish the signal. This is where the DWL-900AP+ comes
in. Once setup, I can install the access point in the garage and
have a cleaner signal and get better transfer rates. In order to
initially set it up the DWL-900AP+ needs to be connected to a LAN,
but after that it can be taken off and installed anywhere there
is a power outlet, as long as the distance between it and the original
access point is not to great. The DWL-900AP+ features WEP protection,
as well as MAC address filtering, for keeping unwanted users of
your network.

(Added February 16, 2004 ) Since, I decommissioned the DI-614+ this device can no longer be utilized. I am hoping the WRV54G with its Wireless-G capabilities will provide a strong enough signal for my needs, effectively making this product unneeded. I will post when I have tested more. |
