General Information

The DAP-600P device is a wireless dual band access point supporting the router mode. It is an
affordable solution for creating wireless networks at home or in an office.
Using the DAP-600P device, you are able to quickly create a high-speed 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). Simultaneous activity of 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band
allows performing a wide range of tasks. The access point can operate as a base station for
connecting wireless devices of the standards 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac.
DAP-600P delivers reliable, high-speed wireless performance up to 1733Mbps for 5GHz using the
enhanced 802.11ac Wave 2 standard and up to 800Mbps for 2.4GHz.
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.
The Super Mesh function is D-Link implementation of Mesh networks designed to quickly connect
multiple devices into one transport network, for example, when it's required to provide high-quality
Wi-Fi coverage without dead zones in living units of complicated planning or it's needed to create a
large temporary Wi-Fi network for an outdoor event.
Multi-user MIMO technology allows to distribute the access point's resources to let multiple
wireless clients use the Wi-Fi network efficiently, keeping high rates for HD media streaming, lag-
free gaming, and fast transfer of large files.
Transmit Beamforming technology allows to flexibly change the antennas' radiation pattern and to
redistribute the signal directly to wireless devices connected to the access point.
Smart adjustment of Wi-Fi clients is useful for networks based on several D-Link access points or
routers – when the smart adjustment function is configured on each of them, a client always
connects to the access point (router) with the highest signal level.
Support of guest Wi-Fi network in the router mode allows you to create a separate wireless network
with individual security settings and maximum rate limitation. 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-600P to create a wireless network or to connect
to a wired router. In the router mode, you are able to connect DAP-600P 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.
