Chapter 1 Introduction - NETGEAR WAX628 User Manual

Introduction
This manual is for the NETGEAR Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX5400 Access Point Model
WAX628.
Model WAX628, in this manual referred to as the access point, supports IEEE 802.11ax,
WPA3 WiFi security, six (2+4) streams of WiFi with concurrent operation at 2.4 GHz (2
streams) and 5 GHz (4 streams), and 160 MHz bandwidth at 5 GHz. The combined
throughput is 5400 Mbps: 600 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and 4800 Mbps at 5 GHz.
The access point functions as a Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) powered device (PD)
in an existing network connected to a PoE+ switch that provides 802.3at power. The
access point also supports a power adapter for connection to a regular switch. Model
WAX628 ships without a power adapter, and model WAX628PA ships with a power
adapter. If you ordered model WAX628 but prefer to use the access point without a
PoE+ connection, you can order a power adapter separately.
The PoE+ Ethernet port supports a high speed up to 2.5 Gbps. A second Ethernet LAN
port supports a speed of 1 Gbps for a link aggregation (LAG) connection.
