D-Link Systems, Inc. Wireless AC1300 Wave 2 Dual-Band PoE Access Point DAP-2610

Overview The DAP-2610 Wireless AC1300 Wave 2 Dual-Band PoE Access Point is designed to support small/medium business or enterprise environments by providing network administrators with secure and manageable dual-band wireless LAN options, and utilizing the cutting-edge speed of Wireless AC. Blazing Wireless Wave 2 AC Performance The DAP-2610 delivers reliable, high-speed wireless performance using the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standard with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 400 Mbps (256-QAM) over the 2.4 GHz band, and 900 Mbps over the 5 GHz band1. 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-2610 to automatically prioritize network traffic according to the level of interactive streaming, such as HD movies or VoIP. The QoS feature can be adjusted through the DAP-2610 web GUI using a drop-down menu to select customized priority rules. Additionally, the DAP-2610 supports load balancing to ensure maximum performance by limiting the maximum number of users per access point. Versatile Access Point Functionality The DAP-2610 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust simultaneous dual-band wireless network. The DAP-2610 can provide optimal wireless coverage over the 2.4 GHz (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n) and the 5 GHz (802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac) bands. Easy to Install The DAP-2610 ships with a low profile mounting bracket, enabling easy installation on any wall or ceiling. It also includes adapter clips for attaching to suspended ceiling T-rails. This high-speed access point can be AC powered using the (included) AC/DC adapter, or for advanced installations, it has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing installation in areas where power outlets are not readily accessible. Security To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2610 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 the wireless network. The DAP-2610 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-2610 supports Network Access Protection (NAP), a feature of Windows Server® 2008, allowing network administrators to define multiple levels of network access based on individual client’s needs. Multiple Operation Modes To maximize total return on investment, the DAP-2610 can be configured to optimize network performance based on any one of its multiple operation modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), a WDS with Access Point, and Wireless Client. With WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple DAP-2610s throughout a facility and configure them to bridge with one another, while also providing network access to individual clients. The DAP-2610 also features advanced features such as load balancing and redundancy, for fail-safe wireless connectivity. Network Management Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2610, including Web (HTTP), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Secure Shell (SSH), and Telnet. For advanced network management, administrators can use the D-Link Central Wi-Fi Manager controller software to configure and manage multiple access points from a single location. In addition, the D-Link Central Wi-Fi Manager provides network administrators with the means of conducting regular maintenance checks remotely, eliminating the need for sending out personnel to physically verify proper operation. The DAP-2610 also has a wireless scheduling feature, turning off wireless functionality when it is not needed to save power. With simultaneous dual-band functionality, PoE support, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the DAP-2610 provides small/medium business and enterprise environments with a business-class solution for wireless networking. Limited Lifetime Warranty D-Link offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the DAP-2610 Wireless AC1300 Wave 2 Dual-Band PoE Access Point to further its commitment to product quality and long-term customer confidence.4 1 Maximum 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 and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range. 2 This unit is designed for indoor environments, you might violate local regulatory requirements by deploying this unit in outdoor environments. 3 Operating frequency ranges vary depending on the regulations of individual countries and jurisdictions. The DAP-2610 may not support the 5.25 – 5.35 GHz and 5.47 – 5.725 GHz frequency ranges in certain regions. 4 Limited Lifetime Warranty available in U.S.A. only.
