D-Link DAP-2620

Description

The DAP-2620 Wireless AC1200 Wave 2 Dual-Band PoE Access Point is designed for small to medium businesses or enterprises, providing unparalleled bandwidth and flexibility for administrators looking to deploy a medium to large scale Wi-Fi network. This AP has manageable dual-band wireless LAN options and utilizes the cutting-edge speed of Wireless AC.

DAP-2620 can be managed by Nuclias Connect Controller. The Nuclias Connect solution provides for easier administration of wireless networks, including continuous monitoring of network activities, equipment configuration automation, performance parameters and network security control etc.

Blazing Wireless Wave 2 AC Performance
The DAP-2620 delivers reliable, high-speed wireless performance using the latest 802.11aс1 standards with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band, and 867 Mbps over the 5 GHz band. This, coupled with support for the Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM) Quality of Service (QoS) feature, makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice applications. When enabled, QoS allows the DAP-2620 to automatically prioritize network traffic according to the level of interactive streaming, such as HD movies or VoIP.

Versatile Access Point Functionality
The DAP-2620 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust simultaneous dual-band wireless network. The DAP-2620 can provide optimal wireless coverage over either the 2.4 GHz (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n) or the 5 GHz (802.11a, 802.11n and 802.11ac) bands. For advanced installations, the DAP-2620 has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing the device to be installed in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

Security
To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2620 supports both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i), with support for RADIUS server backend and a built-in internal RADIUS server allowing users to create their accounts within the device itself. This access point also includes MAC address filtering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast disable, rogue AP detection, and wireless broadcast scheduling for further protection of your wireless network. The DAP-2620 includes support for up to eight VLANs per band, allowing multiple SSIDs to be implemented and further segment users on the network. It also includes a wireless client isolation mechanism, which limits direct client-to-client communication. Additionally, the DAP-2620 supports Network Access Protection (NAP), allowing network administrators to define multiple levels of network access based on individual client's needs.

Network Management
Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2620, including web (HTTP/HTTPS), Secure Shell (SSH, which provides for a secure channel between local and remote computers), and Telnet. In addition, the DAP-2620 has a wireless scheduler feature, which turns off wireless functionality when it isn't needed, saving power.

Multiple Operation Modes
DAP-2620 supports several operating modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), WDS with AP, Wireless Client. As a standard wireless access point (AP) the DAP-2620 can connect to a wide range of devices that are 802.11n/g/b/ac compliant. In wireless distribution system (WDS) mode it can expand current wireless coverage without the need for a wired backbone link. As a wireless client it can connect to an existing AP and and provide access to the network for devices connected using an Ethernet cable. The DAP-2620 also features advanced features such as load balancing and redundancy, for fail-safe wireless connectivity.

MU-MIMO Technology
The DAP-2620 supports MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output), which enables the device to simultaneously communicate with multiple clients using multiple antennas. This allows the access point to utilize the spectrum more efficiently and significantly increase the network capacity.

¹Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard 802.11 and 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials, construction, and network overhead may lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.

²Please note that operating frequency ranges vary depending on the regulations of individual countries and jurisdictions. The DAP-2620 may not support the 5.25 - 5.35 GHz and 5.47 - 5.725 GHz frequency ranges in certain regions.
