Unified AX Dual-Band PoE Access Point

Description

The DWL-X8630AP Unified AX Dual-Band PoE Access Point is designed for small to medium businesses or enterprises, providing unparalleled bandwidth and flexibility for for administrators looking to deploy a medium to large scale Wi-Fi network. This AP has manageable dual-band wireless LAN options and utilizes the cutting-edge speed of Wireless AX and. Not only can the AP operate in standalone mode, it can also be centrally managed by D-Link Unified Wireless Controllers. Highly manageable and capable of blazing speeds, the Unified AX Wireless Access Point integrates seamlessly into any existing network infrastructure and can be easily scaled to meet future demands.
 
Wi-Fi 6
The DWL-X8630AP is the latest model of D-Link DWL Series, utilizing 802.11ax technology (also known as Wi-Fi 6). 11ax includes 1024-QAM modulation, which surpasses speed limitations in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and uplink/downlink MU-MIMO (multi-user - multiple input multiple output) boosts channel capacity and efficiency, enabling more clients to access the network. The DWL-X8630 boasts up to 4 special streams with channel bandwidths up to 160 MHz (in 5 GHz, 40 MHz in 2.4 GHz). This AX3600 AP achieves 2402 Mbps PHY on 5 GHz and 1147 Mbps PHY on 2.4 GHz*. The DWL-X8630AP’s built-in 2.5 GbE PoE port unlocks the door to ‘multi-gigabit’ Wi-Fi, making AX3600 technology essential for increasing your network’s speed and bandwidth.
 
Greater Speed and Connectivity
The DWL-X8630AP can operate in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless bands simultaneously and provides maximum data rates of up to 1147 Mbps in 2.4 GHz band and up to 2402 Mbps in 5 GHz band*. In addition, the DWL-X8630AP 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 maximize the overall throughput of the access point.
 
MU-MIMO Technology
The DWL-X8630AP 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 utilize the spectrum more efficiently and significantly increase the network capacity.
 
Centrally Managed
When working in conjunction with D-Link Unified Controllers, the DWL-X8630AP can be centrally managed. This allows for a large number of APs to be deployed and managed easily and efficiently. Once the APs are discovered by the controller, the administrator can push the configuration to them as a group, instead of configuring each access point individually.
 
Easy to Install
The DWL-X8630AP can be ceiling mounted or wall mounted to meet the needs of any wireless application. For additional flexibility, this AP has integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing the devices to be installed in areas where power outlets are not readily available.
 
Advanced Wireless Features
The DWL-X8630AP supports 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced throughput and better performance of time-sensitive traffic like VoIP and streaming DSCP. This AP supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), so in the event of network congestion, time-sensitive traffic can be given priority ahead of other traffic. 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 utilized, allowing the association request to be picked up by a neighboring unit, distributing the load over multiple APs. Band steering technology enables the DWL-X8630AP 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. Fast Roaming** is also supported, which allows the wireless client to roam between access points.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard 802.11ax and 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.
** This feature is available when Unified AP is used in conjunction with D-Link’s line of Unified Wireless Controllers.
