The DBA-2820P Nuclias Wireless AC2600 Wave 2 Cloud-Managed Access Point is a high-
performance indoor access point designed specically for SMB, retail, hospitality, campus, as
well as managed service providers. It oers high combined data rates of up to 2,533 Mbps over
2 dedicated wireless bands and enhanced WPA3 wireless security.
The DBA-2820P can be easily deployed with zero-touch provisioning and controlled through
the D-Link Nuclias Cloud Management1. This allows network administrators to focus more on
providing reliable connectivity and services and spend less time managing devices.
Centralised Management With D-Link Nuclias
Designed to be managed through the D-Link Nuclias Cloud Management1, the DBA-2820P is
easily set up with the help of the intuitive D-Link Nuclias web-browser portal or the Nuclias
mobile app for tablets. Centralised cloud-based management enables zero-touch provisioning,
allowing for plug-and-connect deployment without the need for additional conguration. The
DBA-2820P connects to the D-Link Nuclias cloud to automatically retrieve its conguration
settings, enabling deployment at remote locations without an on-site network administrator.
With D-Link Nuclias, businesses can now more eectively organise their entire wireless network,
manage multiple APs simultaneously, and monitor live network statistics.
Fast And Ecient Wireless AC Wave 2 Performance
The DBA-2820P delivers reliable, high-speed wireless AC Wave 2 performance with maximum
wireless signal rates of up to 2,533 Mbps2. Load-balancing optimisation eectively eliminates
the need for the dedicated hardware and RF expertise typically required to tune a wireless
network. The D-Link Nuclias cloud tunes the DBA-2820P’s channel selection, transmit power,
and maximum client connections for optimal performance under the most challenging RF
conditions.
DBA-2820P
Wireless AC2600 Wave 2 Cloud-Managed Access Point
Enterprise-Grade Security
To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DBA-2820P supports both
Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA, WPA2 and the latest WPA3, with
support for a back-end RADIUS server. The DBA-2820P also supports MAC
address ltering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast disabling, and
wireless broadcast scheduling to further help protect the wireless network.
The DBA-2820P includes support for up to 16 virtual access points to further
help segment users on the network using multiple SSIDs. In addition, the
DBA-2820P features wireless client isolation, which allows administrators to
limit direct client-to-client communication.
Versatile Deployment
The DBA-2820P allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable
and extremely robust wireless network with optimal wireless coverage. For
deployment exibility, the DBA-2820P can be mounted on a ceiling, wall, or
placed on a desktop to meet any wireless demands. It also supports 802.3at
Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the device to be installed in areas where
power outlets are not readily available.
Nuclias by D-Link
is a complete cloud-managed networking
solution for small to medium-sized
organisations with one or more sites.
How it works
Simpler to
install and
easier to
manage
Wi-Fi coverage and network capacity are provided by
high-performance Access Points and Managed Switches
deployed on site, while conguration and ongoing
management can be carried out remotely through a web
browser or tablet.
Zero-touch provisioning and centralised cloud-based
control make the network simpler to install and easier to
manage.
With Nuclias, network congurations and software
updates are pushed to remote devices through the cloud,
without the need to have specialised equipment or
personnel onsite.
SSL encrypted, out-of-band network monitoring and
management ensures secure connectivity whilst
minimising bandwidth requirement.
