1 Product Descriptions
The WP8331 is a two radios, dual band, 802.11ac access point. It provides powerful WLAN supporting
wireless speed up to 300Mbps on 2.4GHz and 867Mbps on 5GHz, one Ethernet port to connect to the
backbone network, one Ethernet ports can be aggregated to connect to one computer through the
network cables. Besides, the WP8331 supports 802.3at PoE PD to allow the device powered by PoE
switch remotely.
To protect data during wireless transmission, the device supports WEP data encryption and
WPA/WPA2 wireless security to ensure network safely.
The WP8331 is ideal for a variety of medium density enterprise and hotspot environments including
SMBs, hotels, retail outlets and branch offices.
