Nuclias Connect is D-Link’s centralized management solution for Small-to-Medium-Sized Business (SMB) networks. Nuclias
Connect makes it easier to analyze, automate, congure, optimize, scale, and secure your network — delivering the convenience
of an Enterprise-wide management solution, at an SMB price. Nuclias Connect gives you the nancial and technical exibility
to expand from a small network to a larger one (up to 1,000 APs), while retaining a robust and centralized management system.
And with its intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), a wealth of enhanced AP features, and a setup wizard that supports 11
languages, Nuclias Connect minimizes the hassle of deployment, conguration, and administration tasks.
The DNH-100 Nuclias Connect Hub is a hardware controller with pre-loaded Nuclias Connect software. It is designed to support
small-to-medium business or enterprise environments by providing network administrators the capability to manage D-Link
DAP series access points through one single platform. The Nuclias Connect Hub can currently manage up to one hundred APs
per unit with the potential to extend to other Nuclias Connect products in future rmware updates.
