DAP-300P Wireless N300 PoE Access Point / Router
User Manual
CHAPTER 2.
General Information
The DAP-300P device is a wireless access point supporting the router mode. It is an affordable
solution for creating wireless networks at home or in an office.
Using the DAP-300P device, you are able to quickly create a wireless network at home or in your
office, which lets computers and mobile devices access it virtually anywhere (within the operational
range of your wireless network). The access point can operate as a base station for connecting
wireless devices of the standards 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n (at the rate up to 300Mbps).
The device supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, different operation modes (access point, router, client), WPS,
WMM.
Support of guest Wi-Fi network in the router mode allows you to create a separate wireless network
with individual security settings. Devices connected to the guest network will be able to access the
Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the access point's LAN.
The access point is equipped with a WAN port with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support which
allows to use one Ethernet cable for data and power transfer. In the access point mode, the port with
PoE support is used as a LAN port.
In the access point mode, you are able to use DAP-300P to create a wireless network or to connect
to a wired router. In the router mode, you are able to connect DAP-300P to a cable or DSL modem
or to a private Ethernet line and use a high-speed Internet connection to successfully fulfill a wide
range of professional tasks.
The "client" function is available in both modes and allows using DAP-300P as a wireless client
and a wireless repeater in the access point mode and as a WISP repeater in the router mode.
You can configure the settings of the DAP-300P device via the user-friendly web-based interface
(the interface is available in two languages – in Russian and in English).
The configuration wizard allows you to connect DAP-300P to a wired or wireless ISP (when
switched to the router mode) in several simple steps or quickly set needed parameters for operation
as an access point, repeater, or client (when switched to the access point mode).
You can simply update the firmware: when the Internet access is provided, the access point itself
finds approved firmware on D-Link update server and notifies when ready to install it.
