D-Link, the networking solutions provider for small business and medium enterprise IT environments, today announced the DAP-2660, a new high power 802.11ac wireless access point. Packaged in a discrete, low profile white housing, the DAP-2660 is ideal for ceiling or wall mount applications in schools, office buildings, hospitals, government facilities, hotels, and more.

The DAP-2660 delivers reliable, high-speed wireless performance using the latest 802.11ac standard, with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps using the 2.4 GHz band, and 867 Mbps using the 5 GHz band. It supports impressive device densities and offers optimal range and coverage over both bands.





"Our newest 802.11ac access point supports advanced radio management features, such as band steering, airtime fairness and load balancing," added Steven Olen, director of product marketing, D-Link Systems, Inc. "Since access points need to connect to a variety of wireless clients that support different speeds and standards, these advanced features are integral to ensure optimal network performance."

Can't we all... however a basic wireless router does NOT have enough security, QoS, traffic shaping, RF controls, captive portals, VLANs, or roaming options that a LOT of businesses REQUIRE.

Also if you run a consumer router you are most likely NOT PCI compliant. Most of their "guest networks" are not secure enough for that standard.

867Mbps on the 5Ghz band for AC? Most business class AP's can muster 1300Mbps using 2 ports, and are about the same price.
