The DWL-8620AP Wireless AC2600 Wave 2 Dual-Band Unied Access Point is specially
designed for small to medium businesses or enterprises, providing unparalleled bandwidth
and exibility for administrators looking to deploy a medium to large scale Wi-Fi network
utilising the cutting-edge speed of Wireless AC Wave 2. Not only can it operate in standalone
mode, the DWL-8620AP can also be centrally managed by D-Link Wireless Controllers. Highly
manageable and capable of blazing speeds, it integrates seamlessly into any existing network
infrastructure and can be easily scaled to meet future demands.
Greater Speed and Connectivity
The DWL-8620AP leverages the full potential of 802.11ac Wave 2 to provide unparalleled
connectivity with ultra-high combined data rates of up to 2,533 Mbps2. In addition, it supports
Link Aggregation, which allows two Gigabit Ethernet ports to be linked together and act as
a single port to double the available bandwidth and maximise the overall throughput of the
access point.
MU-MIMO Technology
The DWL-8620AP supports MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output), which
enables the device to simultaneously communicate with multiple clients using multiple
antennas. This allows the access point to utilise the spectrum more eciently and signicantly
increase the network capacity. The DWL-8620AP support 4 x 4 MU-MIMO to take full advantage
of all streams to serve more wireless clients to dramatically improve wireless performance.
Easy to Install
The DWL-8620AP can be ceiling mounted or wall mounted to meet the needs of any wireless
application. For additional exibility, it has integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) support,
allowing the devices to be installed in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

Centrally Managed
When working in conjunction with D-Link Wireless Controllers, the
DWL-8620AP can be centrally managed. This allows for a large number of
access points to be deployed and managed easily and eciently. Once the APs
are discovered by the controller, the administrator can push the conguration
to them as a group, instead of conguring each access point individually.
Additionally, Radio Frequency (RF) resource management1 allows wireless
coverage to be managed centrally, providing the best coverage possible for
wireless clients.
Automatic Radio Frequency (RF) Management
When access points are deployed in close proximity to each other, there may
be interference between channels if RF management is not implemented.
When the DWL-8620AP senses a neighbour nearby, it will automatically
select a non-interfering channel. This greatly reduces RF interference and
will allow the administrator to deploy APs more densely. To further minimise
interference, when a nearby AP is on the same channel, the DWL-8620AP will
automatically lower its transmission power1. When, for whatever reason, the
nearby AP is no longer present, the access point will increase its transmission
power to expand coverage.
Advanced Wireless Features
The DDWL-8620AP support 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced
throughput and better performance of time-sensitive trac like VoIP and
streaming DSCP. It also supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), so in the event of
network congestion, time-sensitive trac can be given priority ahead of other
trac. Furthermore, when a number of access points 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, distributing the load over multiple APs. Band steering
technology enables the DWL-8620AP to intelligently place clients on the
optimal wireless band to avoid congestion and allows for smooth streaming
of video, seamless browsing, and fast downloads for mobile devices. Airtime
Fairness ensures that equal airtime is given to each client, providing increased
performance even if slower devices are connected. 802.11k Fast Roaming1 is
also supported, which allows the wireless client to roam seamlessly between
access points.
