Netgear WAX638E Tri Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/i 7.80 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - Indoor — WAX638E-111NAS

Next Gen 6GHz Tri-Band WiFi 6E Access Point for the Commercial and Residential Integrators

The WAX638E expands the NETGEAR Insight Cloud managed access point products to offer a next generation triband access point that includes a new and ultra wide, ultra fast WiFi frequency band. The WAX638E is a 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz tri-band design delivering up-to 7.8Gbps total WiFi throughput, supported by a 2.5Gbps Power-overEthernet and a 1Gbps Ethernet ports, and industry leader of technology innovation and performance in its product class.

The WAX638E enables industry's next generation WiFi standard, WiFi 6 Release 2, or WiFi 6E, operating on 6GHz band, delivering unprecedented data throughput speed and available channels for WiFi connectivity with smartphones, IoTs, and computers.

The new 6GHz band provides up to 3.5 times more channels for WiFi communication, enabling the WAX638E to deliver faster speed, handling more client devices in a significantly less congested environment.

WiFi 6 Release 1 operates only in 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, with 80MHz channelization in the 5GHz band. By contrast, WiFi 6 Release 2, or WiFi 6E, operates in 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, with 160MHz channelization in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands. By enabling the 160MHz channels, the WAX630E delivers 100% more speed in the 5GHz band than WiFi 6 Release 1 access points.

The WAX638E is ideal in high density client device environments such as schools, hotels, restaurants and conference centers, and provides enterprise grade WiFi network security. With Insight management, WAX638E 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. Enjoy a 4-year Insight subscription plus 4 years of ProSUPPORT, a 24/7 live expert technical support by phone, chat and email.

With the updated WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and WiFi 6E (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 WiFi network without any slowdowns or blind spots.

The WAX638E, a WiFi 6E access point, combined with Insight, helps integrators with a way to remotely manage their client's network, providing seamless WiFi connection and satisfied client experiences. NETGEAR empowers integrators with an all new WiFi 6E access point for high performance and high coverage for the years to come.

The WAX638E is compatible with other Pro WiFi Insight managed access points to form a scalable wireless network.
