Please note:Â Powered by PoE only, cannot be powered through a power adapter.
The NETGEAR WAX610Y-100EUS Insight Outdoor WiFi 6 Access Point (AX) supports the next generation WiFi 6 smart phones, IoT devices, and notebook computers, delivering up to 40% more throughput to each individual device in the 5GHz band and 70% more throughput in the 2.4GHz band, compared to the previous generation equivalent model. It provides 4x the client device connection, allowing businesses to serve more customers with better speed and less congestion. The WAX610Y is ideal in high density client device environments such as schools, hotels, restaurants and conference centres, and provides enterprise grade WiFi network security. With Insight management, WAX610Y works seamlessly with your current NETGEAR Insight managed switches, WiFi access points and network storage, and is compatible with previous generation WiFi devices (WiFi 5 802.11ac for example) and WiFi Access Points.

Key Features

- Faster and more reliable WiFi due to higher throughput and more coverage with the use of both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band simultaneously.
- Ideal for high density WiFi environments, supported by robust and seamless roaming between a large number of WAX610Y and other NETGEAR Business WiFi APs.
- High Performance — Get 4 Streams of WiFi 6 and speeds up to 1.8 Gb.
- Greater Capacity and Battery Life — Enjoy 4X more connection capacity than WiFi 5 with improved efficiency for longer device battery life.
- Compatible with WAC505/510/540 (sold separately) specifically but not WiFi 5 APs in general.
- Dual-Band Wireless Mesh – Wire-free installation with other WAX610, WAX610Y, WAC540 or WAC564 (sold separately). One of the bands is then shared between the wireless backhaul and the devices.
Outdoor Deployment
The WAX610Y access point is waterproof and dust proof protected by a P2i nano-coating and meets the IP55 rating to withstand the rain and outdoor atmosphere.
WiFi 6 Technology
In the past several years, the WiFi industry has made progress in increasing speeds by leaps and bounds. However, capacity continues to be a challenge, namely, supporting a large number of concurrent users. This requirement is particularly acute for businesses, where very high throughput to each individual device may not be the paramount requirement. Rather, it is providing network connectivity to a large number of client devices, with good throughput, stable connection, and robust responses to environmental changes that is most important.
With the updated WiFi 6 (802.11ax) technology such as OFDMA, upstream and downstream MU-MIMO, and increased speeds, coverage, and capacity, you can feel confident that you’re getting the highest performance WiFi that’s set for years to come! Plus the assurance that you can now add more connected devices on your business WiFi network without any slowdowns or blind spots.
An Easy Way to Manage
The WAX610Y, a WiFi 6 Business Access Point, combined with Insight, helps small and medium businesses with an easy way to manage their network without an IT expert, providing great WiFi connection leaving each of their customers satisfied as a network user. NETGEAR empowers businesses this WiFi 6 Business Access Point for high performance and high coverage for the years to come.
