Introduction 

Overview 
Integrating the cutting edge of Internet Telephony and Access Point manufacturing experience, Legrand 
now introduces the latest member of our Wireless Access Point family: the DA1101 N-WAP. 
 
The N-WAP provides high-performance Access Point (AP) function for flexible wireless communication.  
 
With built-in IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless network capability, the N-WAP allows any computer and wireless 
enabled network client connect to it without additional cabling.  The 802.11n wireless capability gives 
users the highest speed of wireless experience ever.  With an 802.11n compatible wireless adapter 
installed in your PC, the files can be transferred at up to 300Mbps. The radio coverage is also doubled to 
offer the high speed wireless connection in an even wider space of your office or house. 
 
To secure the wireless communication, the N-WAP supports most up-to-date encryption: WEP, WPA-
PSK and WPA2-PSK.  In addition, the N-WAP supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type for users 
to connect to a secured wireless network easily.
