I have been inclined to do bit more research on the AP I recently purchased. A D-Link DAP-2553. This unit has been performing extremely well since I got it and I have no complaints so far. I did however want to know more about it as is my nature. Digging around on the web and the oracle turned up very little. As I work in an RF related field I turned to an awesome resource for data on RF devices, the FCC.
Low and behold they have the full data on the AP as I had hoped/expected. Turns out this little puppy is fully Atheros, sporting an AR9132-AC1E as its network processing unit and an AR9106-AL1A dual band radio. The AR9132 is listed by Atheros as a 400 MHz NPU (Network Processing Unit) and of course being dual band the AR9106 operates in the 2.4 GHz (b/g) and 5 GHz (a) bands. Some nice data can be found at the Atheros site “here“.
