DAP-X2850 - Wireless Access Point

Model Number:

• DAP-X2850

Key Specifications:

• Wireless Standard:

  • Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support, the latest and fastest Wi-Fi standard, offering improved speed, greater capacity, and better efficiency, especially in high-density environments.

• Wi-Fi Speeds:

  • Up to 5.4 Gbps combined (1.2 Gbps on 2.4 GHz and 4.8 Gbps on 5 GHz), providing ultra-fast wireless performance for bandwidth-heavy applications like 4K streaming, gaming, and large file transfers.

• Dual-Band Wireless:

  • Operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, allowing for flexibility and reduced interference. The 5 GHz band provides faster speeds, while the 2.4 GHz band offers better range.

• OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access):

  • Supports OFDMA, enabling efficient use of the wireless spectrum by allowing multiple devices to transmit data simultaneously, reducing latency and increasing capacity in high-density environments.

• MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output):

  • Supports MU-MIMO, which allows the access point to communicate with multiple devices at the same time, further improving overall network efficiency and reducing congestion.

• Power over Ethernet (PoE):

  • PoE (802.3af/at) support allows the device to be powered through the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by removing the need for a separate power source.

• Security Features:

  • Supports the latest WPA3 encryption standard for enhanced security.
  • Also supports WPA2 and WPA3 encryption for robust network protection.
  • 802.1X support for RADIUS-based authentication and more secure network access control.

• Advanced Quality of Service (QoS):

  • Ensures that high-priority traffic, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receives bandwidth priority, improving performance for latency-sensitive applications.

• Management Options:

  • Managed via a web-based interface for easy configuration.
  • D-Link Nuclias Cloud Management for centralized, cloud-based monitoring and management of multiple access points, ideal for large deployments.
  • D-Link Centralized Wireless Management (DWMS) for enterprise-level control over your network infrastructure.

• High-Gain Antennas:

  • Equipped with high-gain external antennas for extended wireless coverage, improving the signal strength in large or multi-floor environments.

• Seamless Roaming:

  • Supports seamless roaming, ensuring that devices remain connected to the strongest signal as users move around, making it ideal for mobile devices and environments with high user mobility.

• Flexible Mounting Options:

  • Can be ceiling or wall-mounted, allowing for versatile placement to optimize coverage in different environments (e.g., offices, retail spaces, warehouses).

• Backward Compatibility:

  • Fully backward compatible with 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) devices, ensuring that older devices can still connect while taking advantage of Wi-Fi 6 improvements.

Use Cases:

• Enterprise Networks: Ideal for large office spaces, schools, hospitals, and high-density environments where fast, reliable, and secure wireless connectivity is essential.
• High-Density Environments: Perfect for venues with a large number of simultaneous wireless clients (e.g., conferences, auditoriums, public spaces).
• Business and Retail Networks: Suitable for creating reliable Wi-Fi networks in areas with many users and high data throughput demands.
• Smart Office Setups: Perfect for offices that require seamless device connectivity, high-speed internet access, and advanced security features.
