The D-Link DWL-8720AP access point is useful for creating or expanding a wireless network to connect multiple devices.

It transmits signals on two frequencies:

  • 2.4GHz: the most common frequency with a wide range.
  • 5GHz: provides higher speed but is more sensitive to obstacles such as walls, reducing the range.

It offers up to 1300Mbps total bandwidth for...

    Theoretical maximum speed with one wirelessly connected device, mainly used for marketing purposes. The speed that each connected device will have depends on the distance, obstacles, how many other devices are connected, how many other networks exist in the same area, etc.

  • Ethernet Ports

    Wired connection capability through an Ethernet network port. It allows connection via Ethernet cable, ensuring a stable and reliable connection, high data transfer speeds, and reduced interference compared to Wi-Fi.

  • Frequency

    Dual Band (2.4 & 5GHz)

    They transmit signals on two frequencies. They offer higher speeds compared to single and connect more devices. The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most common and, as it has a large range, is usually congested by neighboring Wi-Fi signals, making communication between devices more difficult. The 5Ghz provides higher speeds than the 2.4Ghz but is more sensitive to obstacles (e.g. walls) that reduce its range. This difference, as well as its more limited use, helps to have fewer interferences from other networks.

  • Wi-Fi Generation

    Wi‑Fi 5

    The most widespread Wi-Fi standard, significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4. Wi-Fi 5 can meet the needs of most users for now. The next generation (Wi-Fi 6) began to be released in 2019 and offers the ability to connect many more devices to accommodate the increasing number of smart devices in a home.

Description

Description

The D-Link DWL-8720AP access point is useful for creating or expanding a wireless network to connect multiple devices.

It transmits signals on two frequencies:

  • 2.4GHz: the most common frequency with a wide range.
  • 5GHz: provides higher speed but is more sensitive to obstacles such as walls, reducing the range.

It offers up to 1300Mbps total bandwidth for connected devices.

In practice, the actual speed shared among devices is closer to 200Mbps.

It is of Wi‑Fi 5 generation, the most widespread Wi-Fi standard, which can meet the needs of most users for now.

The next generation Wi-Fi 6 offers the ability to connect many more devices, serving the increasingly numerous smart devices in a home.
