The main features of the DAP-2680 are:
- Dual-band (2.4/5GHz) 3x3 internal antenna configuration
- Combined speed of 1750 Mbps with modulation and coding improvements, offering speeds of up to 450 Mbps (256-QAM) on the
2.4 GHz band and 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band.
- MU-MIMO (Multi-user MIMO) allows multiple streams to be transmitted to different clients simultaneously instead of sequentially, significantly increasing throughput.
- Enhanced coverage through Beamforming to extend the range of the wireless network by directing the signal directly to each device.
- Band steering to intelligently balance the client load on each band (2.4/5GHz) and improve connection quality.
- Powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) 802.3af, allowing for quick and easy deployment by receiving power through the LAN cable.
- Multiple operating modes allow use as an access point, bridge (WDS), WDS/access point combination, or wireless client.
- Integrated captive portal for user authentication and bandwidth control.
- Centralized management with a cluster of up to 32 access points via AP Array, a simple way to configure and manage multiple access points from a single master device.
- Free D-Link Central WiFi Manager (CWM-100) software allows easy management of up to 1,000 access points from a single location.
- Also offers traditional access methods for configuration, such as Web (HTTP), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Secure Shell (SSH), and Telnet.
- Multimedia traffic prioritization with Wi-Fi Multimedia and Enterprise QoS features.
- Available in 3- and 5-unit kits (reseller exclusive).
The DAP-2680 works with both personal and enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i). It features a built-in RADIUS server that allows users to create accounts directly on the device, as well as a captive portal. This access point also includes MAC address filtering, wireless LAN segmentation, rogue access point detection, and time-based broadcasting for maximum protection of your enterprise network.
