The DWL-8710AP is an outdoor dual-band Wireless AC1200 Access Point designed specically
for deployment in business and campus environments. Highly manageable and capable of
blazing speeds, the DWL-8710AP integrates seamlessly into an existing network infrastructure
and can be easily scaled to meet future demands.
Superior Wireless AC Performance
The DWL-8710AP 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 DWL-8710AP 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.
AC SmartBeam™ technology enables the DWL-8710AP to have even greater reach than ever
before. By focusing the wireless signal at connected devices, it guarantees continuous fast
wireless speeds, anywhere in the oce, even under heavy network utilisation or in areas that
had bad wireless signal.
Convenient Installation
The
DWL-8710AP
DWL-8710AP is IP67-compliant and is designed to operate in harsh outdoor environments and
temperatures ranging from -30 up to 60˚C. In addition, all network interfaces are protected
against electrical surges, enabling the device to be placed in areas where there is a risk of being
struck by lightning.
allowing installation of this device in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

For easy installation, it has integrated 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) support,
The
Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band Outdoor Unied Access Point
Centrally Manage your Wireless Network
When working in conjunction with a D-Link Unied Switch or Wireless
Controller, the DWL-8710AP, like other D-Link Unied Access Points, may be
centrally managed. This allows up to 1,024 D-Link Unied Access Points to be
deployed and managed easily and eciently3. Once the APs are discovered
by the switch/controller, the administrator can push a specic set of
congurations 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.
Automatic RF Management Saves Power and Money
When a number of access points are deployed close to each other, interference
may result if proper RF management isn’t implemented. When a DWL-8710AP
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 operating on the same channel, the DWL-8710AP will automatically
lower its transmission power2. When, for whatever reason, the nearby AP is
no longer present, the DWL-8710AP will increase its transmission power to
expand coverage.
Quality of Service for Increased Connectivity
The DWL-8710AP supports 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced
throughput and better performance of time-sensitive trac like VoIP and
streaming DSCP. The DWL-8610AP 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-8710APs are in close proximity
with each other, an access point will refuse new association requests once its
resources are fully utilised. Instead, the association request will be picked up
by a neighbouring unit. This feature ensures that no single AP is overburdened
while others nearby sit idle.

WEP, WPA, WPA2, and 802.1X. In addition, it supports up to 16 Virtual Access
Points (VAP) per radio, for a total of 32 VAPs, 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. Rogue APs in the network can be easily detected,
and the administrator will be immediately notied of any security threat. When
used together with D-Link’s Wireless Controller or Unied Switch, the security
can be enhanced further.
