The TRENDnet Wireless Lan Controller (TEW-WLC100) from DJDeals.com is a dedicated hardware appliance that brings centralized control and enterprise-grade management to large-scale TRENDnet wireless deployments. A single TEW-WLC100 manages up to 128 TRENDnet access points simultaneously through an intuitive web-based GUI, enabling administrators to configure SSIDs, VLANs, security policies, and bandwidth limits across an entire AP fleet from one interface. Seamless roaming via IEEE 802.11r Fast BSS Transition and Opportunistic Key Caching ensures clients move between APs without dropped connections, while WAP Maps let administrators overlay floor plans with real-time AP status visuals. Mounted in a 1U rackmount metal chassis with five Gigabit ports, the TEW-WLC100 fits neatly into any wiring closet.
TRENDnet Wireless Lan Controller (TEW-WLC100) Features:
- Centralized Management for Up to 128 APs. Manage the entire TRENDnet access point fleet — SSIDs, VLANs, security, and settings — from a single web-based GUI without touching each AP individually.
- Seamless Roaming. IEEE 802.11r Fast BSS Transition and Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) enable clients to roam between access points without connection drops or reauthentication delays; 802.11k provides neighboring AP awareness for efficient handoffs.
- WAP Maps. Upload floor plans and create visual overhead maps showing each AP’s physical location, connection status, and traffic load in real time.
- Batch Firmware Upgrades. Push firmware updates to multiple APs simultaneously or by group — no more updating APs one at a time.
- Customizable Captive Portal. Deploy guest wireless access with a customizable captive portal supporting unique per-user login credentials and multiple SSID-to-VLAN profiles.
- Band Steering. Automatically pushes dual-band capable clients from congested 2.4 GHz to less-congested 5 GHz for improved throughput.
- Per-SSID and Per-Client Bandwidth Control. Set individual download and upload limits per SSID or per client; internal logging provides network-wide monitoring and reporting.
