Introduction Introduction The D-Link AirPremier DWL-3260AP is a powerful and reliable wireless access point for businessclass enterprise environments. Designed for indoor installation, this access point provides advanced functions including 108Mbps Turbo speed, security, Quality of Service (QoS), and Power over Ethernet (PoE) for network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and robust wireless network. Up to 108Mbps Wireless Speed. The DWL-3260AP delivers reliable wireless performance with standard 802.11g wireless throughput rates of up to 54Mbps. It is also capable of reaching maximum wireless signal rates of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode) powered by D-Link 108G technology. At the same time, the DWL-3260AP remains fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards. Power Over Ethernet Support. For maximum coverage, the DWL-3260AP can be placed at inconvenient locations such as on a ceiling, using a mounting plate. Industry-standard 802.3af PoE support facilitates installation of this device on high places, where AC outlets are inaccessible and providing power to these locations is difficult and expensive. From the ceiling, the DWL-3260AP can obtain power from a PoE switch located as far as 100 meters away through the unused pairs of the existing network cable, doing away with the need to install separate power wiring. Ceiling Mounting. The DWL-3260AP has a round shape and can be camouflaged as a smoke detector to discourage the attention of network intruders. Its diagnostic LED can be turned off to make it appear even more like a smoke detector. Advanced Wireless Security. Since wireless security remains a strong concern among businesses, the DWL-3260AP provides the latest wireless security technologies by supporting both WPA/WPA2-Enterprise and 802.1x to ensure complete network protection. In addition, the DWL-3260AP currently comes 802.11i-ready to fully support industrial grade wireless security. Other security features included in this Access Point are MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, Broadcast SSID Disabled, and support for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption. WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Support. To maximize total return on investment, the DWL3260AP can be configured to operate as an access point (AP mode), a point-to-point bridge or a point-to-multipoint bridge (WDS mode). In the AP mode, the DWL-3260AP uses its built-in omni-directional antenna for multi-angle coverage. In the WDS mode, the DWL-3260AP can be mounted on a high wall and externally fitted with an optional directional antenna through its SMA connector. Users will disable the built-in antenna through a slide switch, and the DWL-3260AP will communicate only with wireless bridges, using the external directional antenna, without allowing wireless clients or workstations to access them. *"Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g 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 throughout rate."

The D-Link AirPremier DWL-3260AP is a powerful and reliable wireless access point for business-
class enterprise environments. Designed for indoor installation, this access point provides
advanced functions including 108Mbps Turbo speed, security, Quality of Service (QoS), and
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and robust
wireless network.
Up to 108Mbps Wireless Speed. The DWL-3260AP delivers reliable wireless performance with
standard 802.11g wireless throughput rates of up to 54Mbps. It is also capable of reaching
maximum wireless signal rates of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode) powered by D-Link 108G
technology. At the same time, the DWL-3260AP remains fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b
and 802.11g standards.
Power Over Ethernet Support. For maximum coverage, the DWL-3260AP can be placed at
inconvenient locations such as on a ceiling, using a mounting plate. Industry-standard 802.3af PoE
support facilitates installation of this device on high places, where AC outlets are inaccessible and
