NETGEAR released the WAX610W wall-mounted access point with Wi-Fi 6 technology for hotels, apartments, and schools on Tuesday. The device provides 1.8 gigabits per second of combined wireless speed through 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz bands, and accepts power through a single Gigabit Ethernet uplink with Power-over-Ethernet Plus support. Four Gigabit LAN ports allow direct connection of IP phones, televisions, and Internet of Things equipment.
The access point supports WPA2, WPA3 Personal, WPA3 Enterprise security modes, and Opportunistic Wireless Encryption for open networks. Administrators can configure eight separate network names with VLAN segmentation to isolate administrative, staff, guest, and device traffic. NETGEAR Insight cloud management enables remote configuration and monitoring without hardware controllers, and the system supports captive portal branding for guest access. The company offers a five-year warranty with next-business-day hardware replacement.
