D-Link DWL‑2600AP Unified N PoE Wireless Access Point

D-Link DWL‑2600AP - Description

Unified N PoE Wireless Access Point

Reliable Wireless Connectivity for Business Environments:

D-Link DWL-2600AP Unified N PoE Wireless Access Point is a powerful and flexible solution designed for business-class environments. Supporting wireless speeds of up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, it offers solid performance and coverage using the latest Wireless N technology. Its discreet, low-profile smoke detector-style housing allows seamless installation on ceilings or walls, making it ideal for office settings, schools, and retail locations.

Self-Configuring Cluster for Easy Deployment:

Perfect for small businesses, the DWL-2600AP features a self-configuring cluster mode. Up to 8 access points can automatically synchronize settings after the initial configuration, dramatically reducing administrative overhead. This eliminates the need for manual setup on each AP, streamlining deployment and minimizing configuration errors.

Centralized Management with D-Link Wireless Controllers:

For larger deployments, the DWL-2600AP works seamlessly with D-Link’s Unified Wireless Switches and Controllers. Up to 256 units can be centrally managed and provisioned from a single interface. This scalability makes it easy to expand wireless coverage across large office buildings, campuses, or enterprise networks while ensuring consistent policy enforcement.

Robust Security for Enterprise Networks:

Security is a top priority with the DWL-2600AP. It supports WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise, MAC address filtering, and rogue AP detection to prevent unauthorized access. Up to 16 virtual SSIDs can be configured, allowing the network administrator to segment user access by department, role, or access level for greater security and control.

Advanced RF Management and Interference Mitigation:

Automatic RF management is built into the DWL-2600AP. When multiple APs are in proximity, the unit dynamically adjusts its channel and transmission power to reduce interference and optimize coverage. This allows for denser deployments without performance degradation, ensuring consistent wireless performance throughout the network.

WMM-Certified Quality of Service:

The DWL-2600AP is WMM-certified, enabling priority handling for time-sensitive data like VoIP and video streaming. If an AP becomes overloaded, nearby units can accept new client associations to balance the load. This ensures better network performance and user experience, particularly in high-traffic areas.

PoE Support and Energy Efficiency:

With support for 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), the DWL-2600AP can be installed in hard-to-reach locations without the need for additional power sources. Its wireless scheduler feature allows administrators to disable wireless broadcasting during off-hours, reducing energy consumption and enhancing security.

Flexible Deployment Options:

Whether deployed as a standalone access point or part of a larger managed network, the DWL-2600AP offers flexibility for any deployment size. With multiple wireless modes including Access Point, WDS Bridge, and WDS with AP, it adapts to a wide range of networking needs.

Compact Design, High Performance:

Despite its compact size, the DWL-2600AP delivers robust wireless coverage with 3 dBi internal antennas and MIMO technology. Designed for indoor use, it offers performance and features typically found in higher-end models—without the high price tag.
