Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Recommended only for legacy business wireless environments where DAP-2690 compatibility is specifically required.
• Suitable for existing D-Link AirPremier deployments, replacement needs, or projects that still depend on 802.11n simultaneous dual-band access points.
• For new projects, Connect Gates recommends using newer Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 D-Link access points such as DAP-2695, DAP-X2810, or DAP-X2850 for better capacity, newer security, and longer-term availability.
