Designed for today's business-class environments, D-Link's AirPremier N Dual Band Access Point (DAP-2553) provides a highly manageable and robust dual band wireless network for your growing business. It's designed specifically for business-class environments to provide secure and manageable dual band wireless LAN options for network administrators. Front view (see larger image).   Rear view. Key Features Wireless N connectivity for superior wireless performance, clarity, and coverage User-selectable 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz dual frequency band operation for increased network capacity 802.3af PoE Support 3 Dipole Antennas to Boost Signal Strength Operable as Wireless Client, Access Point (Wireless Connectivity for Computers), WDS (Wireless Bridge), or WDS with AP Multiple SSID, 802.1Q VLAN WMM (Wireless QoS) Automatic channel selection Versatile Access Point The DAP-2553 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust dual band wireless network. All three dual band antennas are detachable and can provide optimal wireless coverage in either 2.4GHz (802.11g and 802.11n) or 5GHz (802.11a and 802.11n) bands. For advanced installations, this new high-speed Access Point has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing installation of this device in areas where power outlets are not readily available. Enhanced Performance The DAP-2553 delivers reliable wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300Mbps* in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz 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-2553 supports load-balancing features to ensure maximum performance by limiting the maximum number of users per Access Point. Security To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2553 provides the latest in wireless security technologies by supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i) with support for RADIUS server backend. To further protect your wireless network, MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN Segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast, Rogue AP Detection, and Wireless Broadcast Scheduling are also included. The DAP-2553 includes support for up to 4 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. Multiple Operation Modes To maximize total return on investment, the DAP-2553 can be configured to optimize network performance based on any one of its multiple operation modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with Access Point, WDS/Bridge (No AP Broadcasting) and Wireless Client. With WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple DAP-2553s throughout a facility and configure them to bridge with one another while also 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-2553 offers Spanning Tree Protocol support for greater efficiency and to avoid broadcast storms when used in WDS mode. Network Management Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2553 including Web (HTTP), Secure Sockets Later (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 (bi-directional, eight-bit byte oriented communications facility). 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 or D-View software provides network administrators with the means of verifying and conducting regular maintenance checks remotely, eliminating the need to send personnel out to physically verify proper operation. With the selectable dual band functionality, PoE support, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the new D-Link AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point (DAP-2553) provides SMB environments with a business-class solution for deploying a wireless network in the workplace. * Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, 802.11a, and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.

Corning, this could easily be a 5-star product with some minor improvements to documentation and configuration screens. Pros: Great wireless range * Compact design * relatively quick re-boots as it is configured Cons: * The documentation is very limited for many people to set it up without an aid application configuration * has no instructions supported by other manufacturers (Netgear) A bit expensive - the performance, but makes up for it I use a Linksys router on my home network, which has a default IP of 192.168.1.1. The DAP-2553 uses a default IP of 192.168.0.50, so I need to change your IP to 192.168.1.x which used to work, and documentation about the package does not say how. Fortunately, excellent product support from D-Link got me started in minutes, without grating on me the serial number on the product or when I bought (support from Netgear is a pain) If you put one of these networks on a Linksys, this is what you do: * Connect the DAP-2553 directly to a computer via the supplied Ethernet cable (with Wi-Fi computer is off) * manually set the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.54 (Go to Control Panel | Network |. Settings tab Edit, then right-click Local Area Connection and select Properties Select Internet Protocol 4, then Properties, then use the following IP address Put in the IP, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway leave standard in September to 192.168.0.50 to reach DAP 2553). Press OK. * Open a browser and point it to 192.168.0.50 * Log in using the DAP-2553 is equipped login information and go to Basic Settings | LAN IP address to 192.168.1.5 Set * 50 (is on the map of your Linksys router) * Set the default gateway address of the Linksys router - probably 192168.1.1 Select * Apply * Do not forget to re-set the IP address of your computer to DHCP, or whatever it was before (if using DHCP - Go to Control Panel |. Network | Edit Settings tab, then right-click Local Area Connection and select Properties Select Internet Protocol 4, then Properties, then click Obtain an IP address). Click OK. * Disconnect the DAP-2553 from the computer and connect the DAP-2553 in your network. * If it works, you should now find the DAP-2553 to 192.168.1.50 and be able to complete the wireless configuration to your preference. * Rejoice. Warnings standards. Good luck. 23 of 24 people found this review helpful. Great Bargin AP POE in GMW have a home of 4000 square feet, and had many problems with 2.4 GHz Once I ran into my house with Cat6 outlets all over my current phone, I really needed a 5GHz access point, which can be powered over Ethernet (POE) and was not too expensive I looked at Cisco, but for $ 800, too. I got two of them for $ 300 Dlink. I must say, the features and performance, this is a great product. Now I'm using 802.11n in my house on the 5GHz band, and it works perfectly. I have an AP in the basement and the other is in my room. By having two devices, which can be anywhere in my house and my porch and always have a strong signal. The easy to use web interface only took me 15 minutes to configure both devices. Easy management with built-in QoS and WPA2 security. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs only the function of one or more AP without the use of having a router as well. Dec. 12 people found this review helpful. IL 5GHz Access Point High By Kevin I have a DIR-655 running a 2.4 GHz 802.1 11N in my home network, like any wireless network to share bandwidth with all customers connected to the AP or a router in my case, I wanted to separate my home and my PS3 AV (which is good for the administrator) the same network as my children to use streaming.
