Essentials WiFi 6 AX4200 Dual Band Multi-Gig Access Point Model WAX220
Note: The LAN/PoE+ port supports Ethernet speeds up to 2.5 Gbps. The previous
figure shows a NETGEAR MS510TXPP switch, which supports speeds of 2.5 Gbps.
However, if your Internet connection, modem, or switch supports a maximum speed of
1 Gbps (which is a common speed), the AP LAN connection functions at 1 Gbps.
To set up the AP with a non-PoE connection to your network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN/PoE+ port on the AP.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a switch that is connected to your
network and to the Internet.
3. Connect the power adapter to the AP and plug it into an electrical outlet.
4. Check to see that the LEDs light.

You can now access the AP for initial configuration (see Initial login process on page

Initial login process

During the initial login process, the AP presents its Welcome page. You must define
the AP login password for the AP's device UI, set up the first user WiFi network, and
select the country or region in which you are using the AP (see the warnings below).
After you complete the initial-login process, if you want to log in to the device UI, the
AP no longer presents its Welcome page but a regular login page that lets enter your
AP login password.
