D-Link AirPremier N DAP-2310 – wireless access point DAP-2310

Versatile access point

The DAP-2310 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust 802.11n wireless network. The antennas are detachable and provide optimal wireless coverage in the 2.4 GHz (802.11g and 802.11n) band using a high power radio design to reduce dead spots and increase capacity. For advanced installations, this high-speed access point has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), making installation easy in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

Enhanced performance

The DAP-2310 delivers reliable wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz wireless band. This coupled with support for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Quality of Service features, makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice applications. Additionally, the DAP-2310 supports load balancing features to ensure maximum performance by limiting the maximum number of users per access point.

Security

To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2310 provides the wireless security technologies by supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i) with support for a RADIUS server backend. The DAP-2310 includes support for up to eight VLANs for implementing multiple SSIDs to further help segment users on the network. It also includes a wireless client isolation mechanism, which limits direct client-to-client communication.

Multiple operation modes

To maximize total return on investment, the DAP-2310 can be configured to optimize network performance based on any one of its multiple operation modes: access point, wireless client, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), and WDS with access point. With WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple DAP-2310 access points throughout a facility and configure them to bridge with one another while providing network access to individual clients. Also included are advanced features such as load balancing, which optimizes high network traffic volume, and redundancy for fail-safe wireless connectivity.

Network management

Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2310, including a web interface (HTTP), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Shell (SSH), and Telnet. With 2.4 GHz band functionality, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the D-Link DAP-2310 AirPremier N Access Point provides SMB environments with a business-class solution for deploying a wireless network in the workplace.
