The DWL-6700AP Wireless Dual-Band Outdoor Unied Access Point is an access point specially
designed for medium distance wireless network bridging services, providing WDS/backhauling
networking applications on its 5 GHz band. Featuring the 5 Ghz 8 dBi MIMO directional patch
antenna, the DWL-6700AP provides up to 1.5km wireless bridging distance. With WDS support,
network administrators can set up multiple DWL-6700APs throughout a facility and congure
them to bridge with one another using the 5 GHz band while also providing network access to
individual clients on the 2.4GHz band.
Enhanced Performance
The DWL-6700AP delivers reliable wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates
of up to 300 Mbps in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz mode. Support for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
and Quality of Service (QoS) feature makes the DWL-6700APan ideal Access Point to prioritise
audio, video, and voice applications. In addition, the load balancing feature ensures maximum
performance in the wireless environment.
Security
The DWL-6700AP supports the latest standards in Wi-Fi security, including WPA and WPA2. In
addition, the DWL-6700AP supports up to 4 Virtual Access Points (VAP) per radio, for a total of
8VAPs, which allows the administrator to assign dierent access privileges to dierent groups
of users. When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless
clients on the same radio and VAP. When used together with a D-Link Wireless Controller or
Unied Switch, wireless network security can be enhanced further.
Wireless Dual-Band Outdoor Unied Access Point
Centrally Manage your Wireless Network
When working in conjunction with D-Link Unied Switches/Wireless
Controllers, the DWL-6700AP can be centrally managed. This allows a large
number of APs to be deployed and managed easily and eciently. Once
the APs are discovered by the switch/controller, the administrator can push
specic conguration sets onto them rather than having to do so one by
one. In addition, RF resource management and security are also managed
centrally, thus allowing the administrator to pre-emptively identify potential
deciencies and weaknesses in the network.
Wi-Fi Strength LEDs and Remote Reset Button
DWL-6700AP
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.
The visual 5 GHz signal strength LEDs provides simple indicators to display
the signal strength of the WDS link. Network administrators can see the
signal strength quickly and clearly, even if the two APs are over a kilometre
away from each other. The additional remote reset button on the included
PoE injector allows the DWL-6700AP to be hard reset without the need to
physically access the device itself.
Quality of Service for Increased Connectivity
The DWL-6700AP supports 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced
throughput and better performance of time-sensitive trac like VoIP and
streaming DSCP. The DWL-6700AP is WMM-certied, so in the event of
network congestion, time-sensitive trac can be given priority ahead of
other trac. Furthermore, when a number of DWL-6700AP units are in close
proximity to each other, an access point will refuse new association requests
once its resources are fully utilised, allowing the association request to be
picked up by a neighbouring unit. This feature ensures that no single AP is
overburdened while others nearby sit idle.
Convenient Installation
With an embedded antenna and a simple housing, the
installed on a pole. Enclosed in a IP-55 rated weatherproof housing as well as an
operating range between -30°C to 50°C, the
exposure to heat and cold as well as rain. For easy installation, it has integrated
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and includes PoE injector, allowing installation
of this device in areas where power outlets are not readily available.
