D-Link's DAP-2310 is an 802.11n Access Point ideal for any network administrator to create or expand the capacity of a wireless network. This access point is mainly used in high traffic areas such as airports, coffee shops, shopping centers, sporting venues, and university campus deployments. With transfer rates of up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, users are able to connect with legacy 802.11b/g adapters in addition to the latest 802.11n adapters to enjoy faster downloads and instant communication.

The DAP-2310 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust 802.11n wireless network. The detachable antennae provide optimal wireless coverage in the 2.4 GHz band, using a high power radio design to reduce dead spots and increase capacity.

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.

To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2310 provides the latest in wireless security technology by supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 with support for a RADIUS server backend. To further protect your wireless network, MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, SSID Broadcast Disable, Rogue AP Detection, and Wireless Broadcast Scheduling are also included. 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.

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. Additionally, the DAP-2310 offers Spanning Tree Protocol support for greater efficiency and to protect against broadcast storms when used in WDS mode.

Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2310, including a Web interface (HTTP), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which provides for a secure connection to the Internet, Secure Shell (SSH), which provides for a secure channel between local and remote computers, and Telnet. For advanced network management, administrators can use the D-Link AP Manager II or D-View SNMPv3 management module to configure and manage multiple Access Points from a single location. In addition to a streamlined management process, the AP Manager II and D-View software provides network administrators with the means to verify and conduct regular maintenance checks remotely, eliminating the need to send personnel out to physically verify proper operation. With 2.4 GHz band functionality, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the D-Link DAP-2310 provides SMB environments with a business-class solution for deploying a wireless network in the workplace. (MFG PN# DAP-2310)
