Hardware Overview Model WAX218
The NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX3600 Dual Band PoE Access Point Model WAX218 is an indoor,
standalone access point.
The access point provides 802.11ax high-performance WiFi connectivity for a small
office/home office and supports dual-band concurrent WiFi 6 operations at 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz with a combined throughput of 3.6 Gbps (about 1200 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and
2400 Mbps at 5 GHz).
A single 2.5 Gbps PoE LAN port lets you connect the access point to a PoE+ (802.3at)
switch. If you use a regular switch, the access point requires a power adapter, which is
supplied for model WAX218PA. (For model WAX218, a power adapter is an option that
you can purchase.)
