LevelOne Gigabit Ethernet Wireless LAN Controller, Manage up to 256 APs

The LevelOne WAC-2013 is a Gigabit Ethernet Wireless LAN controller for small to medium-sized networks, managing up to 256 access points. Housed in a robust black metal enclosure with LED indicators for activity, link and power, the controller combines central AP management with gateway and firewall capabilities. It supports Gigabit Ethernet on 1 WAN and 4 LAN ports, 512 MB RAM and 16 MB flash memory, and operates on 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz supply.

Advantages

The WAC-2013 centralizes configuration and monitoring of multiple APs and users, simplifies firmware updates and tag-based VLAN configuration, and offers real-time RF control to adjust output power, channel allocation and coverage. Integrated WAN gateway and firewall functions add basic network protection while Gigabit ports ensure high-speed data distribution.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
• Schools and educational campuses
• Guesthouses, hotels and serviced apartments
• Multi-AP Wi‑Fi deployments requiring centralized management

How to use

Install the WAC-2013 in a network rack or on a flat surface and connect the WAN and LAN ports to your network infrastructure. Access the controller’s management interface to add and adopt access points, configure SSIDs, assign VLAN tags and schedule firmware updates. Use the monitoring tools to view AP and user status, and rely on the RF control features to optimize channel distribution, output power and coverage for roaming and throughput.

Recommendations

Place the controller in a secure, ventilated location with stable power. For best wireless performance, perform a site survey before large-scale AP deployment and enable automatic RF control to maintain balanced coverage and minimize interference.
