The WAP571 Wireless-AC/N Premium Dual Radio Access Point with PoE uses concurrent dual-band radio for improved coverage and user capacity. The 3x3 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology with three spatial streams allows the access point to run at maximum performance in both the 5.0 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency. Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces with Power over Ethernet (PoE) facilitate flexible installation and reduce cabling and wiring costs. The intelligent quality-of-service (QoS) feature lets you prioritize bandwidth-sensitive traffic for voice over IP (VoIP) and video applications.
To provide highly secure guest access to visitors and other users, WAP571 supports a captive portal with multiple authentication options and the ability to configure rights, roles, and bandwidth. A customized guest login page lets you present a welcome message and access details, and reinforces your brand with company logos.
This article explains the features and functions of the WAP571 Wireless-AC/N Premium Dual Radio Access Point with PoE.
Concurrent dual-band radio support up to 1.3 Mbps on a 5.0 GHz radio and 600 Mbps on a 2.4 GHz radio to make the most of capacity and coverage
3x3 MIMO with three spatial streams on both 5.0 GHz and 2.4 GHz allows for maximum performance
Single Point Setup, a controller-less technology, simplifies the deployment and management of multiple access points without requiring additional hardware
Two-Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces can enable a high-speed uplink to the wired network and also link aggregation support to increase the overall bandwidth between the two ports
Robust security, including WPA2, 802.1X with Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS) secure authentication, and rogue access point detection, help protect sensitive business information
A captive portal support facilitates highly secure, customized guest access with multiple rights and roles
Simple installation through a Setup Wizard and an intuitive web-based configuration facilitate fast, simple deployment and setup in minutes
Support for PoE allows for easy installation without expensive additional wiring
Sleek design with multiple internal antennas and a versatile mounting kit allows for installation on a ceiling, wall, or desktop
Intelligent QoS prioritizes network traffic to help keep critical network applications running at top performance
A power-saving sleep mode and port control features help increase energy efficiency.
Workgroup Bridge mode lets you expand your network by wirelessly connecting to a second Ethernet network
Support for IPv6 lets you deploy future networking applications and operating systems without costly upgrades
A limited lifetime hardware warranty provides peace of mind
