The DPG-2000W uses 802.11g technology for fast and responsive display of presentations on monitors or onscreen via projector. Share your presentations, applications, and images on your computer in a group setting with the DPG-2000W.

The DPG-2000W includes a presentation session manager software that allows multiple presenters one click access to the monitor or projector for seamless delivery of presentations. The presentation session manager software also automatically assigns an IP address to the DPG-2000W to match your wireless settings for added convenience and easier access.

The user customizable banner page allows display of information such as meeting agendas and conference logos before and between presentations. To ensure wireless security, the administrator can configure the wireless settings.

The DPG-2000W wireless presentation gateway enables interactive discussions, conferences, seminars and business meetings and is a great application for any office environment.

Note: Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors lower actual data throughput rate.

This review is from: D-Link DPG-2000W Wireless Presentation Gateway 802.11g, 54Mbps (Personal Computers)

I conduct training seminars and travel a fair amount as a result. This being a g wireless, I was looking forward to it's speed and distance between my laptop and projector. The first one I received the IC card had broken loose inside the plastic housing. It appears there is 1 screw and one contact point where the integrated circuit card attaches to the protective housing.

I returned the first, for an exchange. I received the 2nd one and it had the same problem as the first: the IC card was broken from it's protective case, the screw, a small piece of plastic, and the IC card rattling in the housing.

I really want what this product claims to offer. But if the product cannot withstand distribution and shipment (well packed the 2nd time), I know it would not last long in day to day practical use. I returned it for a refund.

I expected a much better design from D-Link. For the cost, they really could have spent a few more pennies to make the device somewhat secure inside.
