The DAP-2660 Wireless AC1200 Simultaneous Dual-Band PoE Access Point is designed
to support small to medium business or enterprise environments by providing network
administrators with secure and manageable dual-band wireless LAN options, and utilising the
cutting-edge speed of Wireless AC.
Super-fast Wireless AC Performance
The DAP-2660 delivers reliable, high-speed wireless performance using the latest 802.11ac
standards with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band, and
867 Mbps over the 5 GHz band1. With band steering, the DAP-2660 detects whether or not
the wireless client is dual-band capable and if it is, it will push the client to connect to the less
congested 5 GHz 802.11ac/n network. It does this by actively blocking the client’s attempts
to associate with the 2.4 GHz network. Band steering can ensure clients on the 5 GHz band
can achieve their maximum performance without being bottle-necked by legacy 2.4 GHz
802.11b/g/n clients. This way, you can make the most of Wireless AC technology and at the
same time ensure backwards compatibility with existing legacy equipment.
This, coupled with support for the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Quality of Service (QoS) feature,
makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice applications. Additionally, the
DAP-2660 supports load balancing to ensure maximum performance by limiting the maximum
number of users per access point.
Versatile Access Point Functionality
The DAP-2660 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely
robust simultaneous dual-band wireless network. The DAP-2660 can provide optimal wireless
coverage over either the 2.4 GHz (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n) or the 5 GHz (802.11a,
802.11n, and 802.11ac) band. The DAP-2660 can be ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or placed
on a desktop to meet any wireless demands. For advanced installations, the DAP-2660 has
integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing this device to be installed in
areas where power outlets are not readily available.
Wireless AC1200 Simultaneous Dual-Band PoE Access Point
Security
To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2660 supports both
Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2. With support for RADIUS
server backend and a built-in internal RADIUS server allowing users to create
their accounts within the device itself. This access point also includes MAC
address ltering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast disable, rogue
AP detection, and wireless broadcast scheduling to further protect your
wireless network. The DAP-2660 includes support for up to eight VLANs per
band 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. Additionally, the DAP-2660 supports
Network Access Protection (NAP), a feature of Windows Server 2008, allowing
network administrators to dene multiple levels of network access based on
individual client’s needs.

If the worst should happen to your network you need the very best
support and fast. Downtime costs your business money. D-Link
Assist maximises your uptime by solving technical problems
quickly and eectively. Our highly trained technicians are on
standby around the clock, ensuring that award-winning support
is only a phone call away.
With a choice of three aordable service oerings covering all
D-Link business products, you can select the package that suits
you best:
Multiple Operation Modes
To maximise total return on investment, the DAP-2660 can be congured to
optimise 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-2660s throughout a facility
and congure them to bridge with one another while also providing network
access to individual clients. The DAP-2660 also features advanced features
such as load balancing and redundancy, for fail-safe wireless connectivity.
Network Management
Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2660,
including web (HTTP), Secure Socket Layer (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. For advanced
network management, administrators can use D-Link’s Central WiFiManager
to congure and manage multiple access points. In addition to streamlining
the management process, Central WiFiManager provides network
administrators with the means to verify and conduct regular maintenance
checks remotely, eliminating the need to send personnel out to physically
verify proper operation.
The DAP-2660 has a wireless scheduler feature, which turns o wireless
functionality when it isn’t needed, saving power. With simultaneous dual-
band functionality, PoE support, extensive manageability, versatile operation
modes, and solid security enhancements, the DAP-2660 provides small to
medium business and enterprise environments with a business-class solution
for deploying a wireless network.
