Netgear WAX618-111NAS Wifi 6 Poe Access Point

Product Description

The NETGEAR WAX618-111NAS is an Insight Managed WiFi 6 Power over Ethernet access point designed for professional network installations. It delivers next-generation 802.11ax wireless connectivity and receives its power directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the mounting location. Managed through the NETGEAR Insight cloud platform, it is suited for IT professionals, network integrators, and facilities technicians deploying or upgrading wireless infrastructure in commercial and light-industrial environments.

This access point is intended for ceiling or wall-mount installations in commercial spaces, office environments, warehouses, and similar facilities where reliable, high-density wireless coverage is required. WiFi 6 technology supports higher throughput, improved performance in congested environments, and better handling of multiple simultaneous client connections compared to previous WiFi generations. PoE capability allows flexible placement wherever a compliant PoE switch or injector is available.
