Multi-Mode Makes the Most of your Network Capabilities
In order to achieve optimal network performance, the DAP-2230 has several operational modes tailored to best fit the individual needs of your network. Access Point, Wireless Client, WDS (Wireless Distribution System), and WDS with Access Point modes allow for flexible, customizable deployment whatever your requirements.
-
Access PointAdd wireless access to your existing wired network.
-
Wireless ClientAdd wireless functionality to a device which does not have a Wi-Fi adapter.
*Note: this should only be 1 device connected to the DAP. -
WDSWirelessly connect two separate networks.
-
WDS with APWirelessly connect two separate networks while also providing wireless access to both networks.
Take a Load Off and Let Your AP do the Hard Work
The DAP-2230’s Load Balancing feature spreads the work load between two or more Access Points to get optimal resource utilization, throughput and response time, while Airtime Fairness helps distribute equal amounts of air time to each connected client. The result is a steady, consistent connection for each user – the perfect balancing act.




Expand your Network with
Budget in Mind
Nuclias Connect’s evolving software-based management capabilities allow you to invest in the DAP-2230 confident that as your business growth expands, your network will, too. Manage up to 1000 Access Points from a single central location, wherever you are, whenever you want.

Peak Performance and Discreet Deployment with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The DAP-2230’s Power over Ethernet function allows for easy installation and a simple, clean setup. No need to run extra power lines, no added hassle when configuring your hardwiring and no more cable clutter. Perfect for advanced installations in areas where power outlets are not readily available.
Make Every Second Count with Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
The DAP-2230 not only delivers reliable wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band, but, Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM™) support enhances your network’s Quality of Service (QoS) by cleverly prioritizing different types of traffic. With the use of QoS, WMM ensures that applications such as, audio, video and voice, that require better throughput and more performance are placed in order of high-to-low priority for an all-round smoother, uninterrupted Wi-Fi experience.
