Description
2.4 GHz radio: 802.11ax, 802.11ng, 801.11bg, and 802.11b
5 GHz radio: 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11na, and 802.11a
6 GHz radio: 802.11ax (nonconfigurable)
The access point supports concurrent operation in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz
radio bands.
About 7800 Mbps simultaneous throughput (600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band,
4800 Mbps in the 5 GHz band, and 2400 Mbps in the 6 GHz band).
Note: Throughput can vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including
volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead,
affect the data throughput rate.
2.4 GHz radio: 128
5 GHz radio: 200
6 GHz radio: 128
The access point can support a maximum of 456 clients with all radios enabled.
WPA3 Personal, WPA3 Enterprise, WPA3/WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Personal, WPA2

IEEE 802.11ax (WiFi 6E)
WiFi Multimedia Prioritization (WMM)
Wireless distribution system (WDS)
8 (2+4+2) streams:
2.4 GHz radio: 2 streams
5 GHz radio: 4 streams
6 GHz radio: 2 streams
2.4 GHz band: 2.412–2.462 GHz
5 GHz band: 5.18–5.825 GHz
6 GHz band: 5.925–7.125 GHz
If you do not use a power adapter, the LAN/PoE++ port requires 802.3bt (PoE++)
power but might also function with 802.3at (PoE+) power. We recommend that you
use 802.3bt (PoE++) power. For more information, see The access point functions
as a PoE PD and the Power/Cloud LED remains solid amber on page 241.
Note: PoE might be considered a network environment 0 per IEC TR 62101, and
thus the interconnected ITE circuits might be considered safety extra low voltage
(SELV).
30.1W
12 VDC, 3.5A
The plug is localized to the country of sale.
Note: For model WAX638EP, a power adapter is included. For model WAX638E, a
power adapter is not included but can be ordered as an option.
