D-Link reckons the DAP-1665 wireless AC1200 dual band access point is a fast and versatile solution for bringing wireless AC to an existing wired network or extending a current wireless network. The latest draft 802.11ac technology, the company says, delivers combined speeds of up to 1200 Mbps, “so you can create a high-speed wireless link between networks, or quickly transfer large files wirelessly between computers on the same network”. What’s more, the DAP-1665 features the latest 802.11ac wireless technology, capable of delivering combined speeds of up to 1200 Mbps over two bands. Use the 2.4 GHz band’s 300 Mbps for web surfing, email and chat, while simultaneously using the lower-interference 5 GHz band for network bridging, downloading, and file transfers.

The DAP-1665 can be configured to operate in several modes, allowing you to customize it to your networking needs. Access Point mode allows the device to act as a central hub for wireless users, giving them access to your existing wired network. Wireless client mode is available to enable the DAP-1665 to connect to another access point and provide network and internet access to a remote wired device such as a gaming console or media centre. Bridge mode allows you to create a high-speed wireless link between two wired networks (LANs), alleviating the need to install additional network cabling. Bridge mode with AP adds the functionality of a wireless access point to your bridged network, so wireless clients can access resources on both networks. Repeater mode extends wireless coverage of your existing wireless network to cover “dead” spots and reach farther into your home or office. dlink.com
