5 GHz frequency bands, and has enhanced coverage performance and protection capabilities. It
supports wireless bridging, complies with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n,connects a large number of
users, and works as a Fit AP. The AP6610DN-AGN-US has the following advantages:
lHigh reliability
lHigh security
lSimple network deployment
lAutomatic AC discovery and configuration
lReal-time management and maintenance
.
The AP6610DN-AGN-US is recommended for use in residential or commercial properties
without wired resources. The AP6610DN-AGN-US APs can be deployed at both ends of a
commercial street or in the building opposite to a commercial property. The APs must be
equipped with external antennas to implement wireless signal coverage.
The AP6610DN-AGN-US is for use in Fit AP and bridge networking scenarios.
