TRENDnet's AC1200 Dual Band Wireless Controller Kit, model TEW-821DAP2KAC, is designed to simplify management and setup processes for your access points. This new controller kit features seamless WiFi roaming, helping your devices stay connected when transitioning from one access point to another within the network. Fast BSS Transition, or fast roaming (802.11r) ensures optimal roaming conditions for your mobile WiFi clients. Airtime fairness provides higher priority to faster WiFi clients without limiting slower WiFi clients.
TRENDnet's controller kit includes two wireless AC1200 access points with PoE injectors, and a wireless controller. This kit allows you to easily setup and manage access points across your network from a centralized interface. Simultaneously manage up to 128 access points, perform batch firmware upgrades, and monitor network connection status.
Seamless WiFi Roaming
802.11k provides a more efficient WiFi roaming environment by intelligently managing neighboring APs and passing mobile clients off to the next best access point; 802.11r and Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) preauthenticates those WiFi clients with neighboring APs making for a fast and seamless transition.
Captive Portal
Create a customized web portal for users to authenticate using unique user names and passwords. Ideal for hotels, cafes, and businesses that want to provide public WiFi and manage wireless usage.
Complete Wireless Controller Kit
This complete controller kit includes two dual band wireless AC1200 access points with PoE injectors and our wireless hardware controller.
Centralized AP Management
Easily manage up to 128 access points across your network. Reduce AP deployment time by creating group profiles to provision multiple access points simultaneously.
Airtime Fairness
This smart WiFi feature calculates and determines which clients have priority over others. Clients that are faster and closer to the AP will have the highest priority while clients that are slower and farther away will have lower priority, freeing up WiFi resources.
