The D-Link DI-614+ is fundamentally an all-in-one WAN/Internet Router, 22Mbps wireless access point, and 4-port 10/100Mb LAN switch. The wireless security features of this unit are basically negligible and could be compared to most other wireless APs currently in the market. This article is about wireless security and wireless security gateways and the D-Link only supports WEP, which as previously mentioned is no longer very secure to a determined hacker.

Installing the D-Link was very easy as were all the integrated products that we received. All ports were clearly marked on the unit therefore it was just a matter of plugging in the applicable cables. The D-Link configuration process is handled via a Web browser and going to the default IP address and reconfiguring it to suit your organisation.
