The AP20000G High Power Wireless-N 600 mW Gigabit Dual Band Access Point is a simultaneous dual-band 802.11abgn access point capable of 300 Mbps maximum link rates on each band.

Power amplifiers are used on both bands, but the 600 mW transmit power rating applies to the 2.4 GHz band only. The AP’s two dual-band 5 dBi antennas attach via RP-SMA connectors and can be upgraded to higher-gain models.
