QlinkCare Mini AC100 is an affordable and easy-to-use WLAN controller designed for small to medium-sized businesses. Despite its palm-sized form factor, it is equipped with a 4-core, 4-thread CPU, enabling it to manage up to 100 Q Link APs effortlessly.
The goal of the QlinkCare Mini is to simplify the deployment, operation, and maintenance of your Wi-Fi infrastructure. It offers centralized visibility and control over the APs and user access, all manageable through a single box. Ideal for offices, hotels, educational institutions, and factories, this cost-effective solution delivers exceptional value and reliability, ensuring your network operates at peak performance.


Experience seamless management with zero-touch provisioning and monitoring of up to 100 Q Link access points through a single-pane web interface. Benefit from real-time performance metrics and instant alert notifications to keep your network running smoothly.
Create a fully customizable captive portal with stylish templates for guest Wi-Fi access. Choose from various login methods, including a simple click-through, user sign-ups, and guest vouchers, making it easy to accommodate diverse user needs.
Ensure secure access with role-based 802.1X/EAP authentication, allowing for dynamic VLAN assignments, data control, session control and bandwidth throttling. The Q LinkCare Mini supports a built-in RADIUS user database and can redirect to external RADIUS servers, providing flexible and secure network access control.
Leverage extensive reporting options with up to 12 months of historical data retention and one month of user login history. This feature enables long-term trend analysis, helping you make informed decisions to optimize network performance.
Separate user data from management traffic for enhanced efficiency. User data is routed directly to its destination through the existing network infrastructure, minimizing latency and ensuring smooth data flow.
