Today�s network administrators demand high performance products which require minimal supervision and management. The DWL-2210AP meets these expectations with its robust features including 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), a built-in authentication database, Load Balancing, WDS, and Quality of Service. To better manage all of these features, the DWL-2210AP introduces AP Clustering technology � an �adaptive� technology which allows up to eight DWL-2210APs to connect over the Ethernet network and communicate directly with each other. With this direct communication, once settings on a single DWL-2210AP are configured, all other DWL-2210AP�s connected to the Ethernet network will sync up and automatically match the new configurations � this eliminates the need to manage each DWL-2210AP individually.

In addition to its robust 802.11g performance, the DWL-2210AP includes several new advanced features. For example, to control network traffic, the DWL-2210AP supports Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure data is prioritized based on applications running on the network. Bandwidth sensitive applications such as VoIP or streaming media will have higher precedence over less mission-critical applications. Other advanced features include Rogue AP detection which scans for unauthorized access points on the network; Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for wireless bridging while simultaneously providing access point functionality; and Load Balancing to ensure optimal connections for all users connected to any of the DWL-2210APs.

For security, the DWL-2210AP supports several means to keep your data and network access safe from outside intruders and malicious attacks. For wireless communication security, the DWL-2210AP supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA-Personal, and WPA-Enterprise. This new Adaptive Access Point also has an integrated authentication RADIUS-Lite database that can be used instead of an expensive external RADIUS server. When operating in WDS mode, each bridge link can be secured with either 64- or 128-bit WEP. For additional network access security, the DWL-2210AP supports VLAN tagging to provide internal and guest network access options. This feature allows you to configure the DWL-2210AP to provide Internet access to visitors while keeping them segmented from your internal private network.

To complement these exceptional business class features � the DWL-2210AP also supports the standards-based 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection and has a high-gain 5dBi omni-directional antenna. By using the included power injector, the DWL-2210AP can be powered through an Ethernet cable for installation in locations where power outlets are not readily available. This feature provides installation flexibility so you can put a DWL-2210AP in an optimal location to maximize your wireless coverage area.

By combining powerful business class features with a high-performance hardware platform � the new D-Link Wireless G Adaptive Access Point with AP Clustering is designed to meet the demands of today�s businesses.
