Unified Wireless Controller

The D-Link DWC-1000 is a dedicated hardware appliance that centralises the configuration, monitoring and security of D-Link access points. It ships with four 10/100/1000 LAN ports, two option ports of the same speed, two USB 2.0 ports and an RJ-45 console connection for out-of-band management.

Who This Suits

Network administrators who want a single pane of glass for up to six access points out of the box, with a licence upgrade path to twenty-four per unit and ninety-six across a four-controller peer group. Organisations that require Wireless Intrusion Detection, rogue AP classification and integrated captive-portal authentication will find those features built in. Builders needing PoE power budgets, 10 GbE uplinks or support for third-party access points should look at other platforms.

AP Capacity Decides Fit

The decisive specification is the maximum number of managed access points: six by default, twenty-four per controller after upgrade, and ninety-six total across a peer group of four controllers. If the planned deployment exceeds ninety-six APs, this controller cannot meet the requirement.
