Access Point NETGEAR WAX618 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6
The NETGEAR WAX618 is a WiFi 6 access point designed for residential and commercial integration projects. It is a dual‑band 2x2 device that delivers up to 3 Gbps aggregated WiFi throughput and includes a 2.5 Gbps Power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE) port. Built on WiFi 6 Release 2 technology with 160 MHz channelization on the 5 GHz band, the WAX618 provides increased throughput, higher client density and backward compatibility with previous WiFi generations. It supports modern smartphones, IoT devices and notebooks, and integrates with NETGEAR Insight for remote management and monitoring.
The WAX618 offers high performance and improved capacity compared with WiFi 5 access points, supporting up to four times more client devices and reducing congestion in high‑density environments such as schools, hotels and restaurants. Enterprise‑grade security is provided with WPA3 and Enhanced Open options, plus support for multiple SSIDs and VLANs. Mesh capability allows units to form wireless backhaul with other compatible NETGEAR access points, enabling scalable coverage and seamless roaming. Insight cloud management and the NETGEAR app simplify deployment and remote monitoring.
Mount the WAX618 in the desired indoor location and connect it to a PoE switch or injector using the 2.5GbE PoE port for both power and network. Use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app or cloud portal to adopt the device, configure SSIDs, security settings and VLANs, and enable mesh if additional WAX units are deployed. For optimal coverage, place access points to minimize physical obstructions and avoid channel overlap; enable 160 MHz on 5 GHz when supported by client devices to maximize throughput. Monitor performance and connected clients via the Insight portal and apply firmware updates as recommended.
Use the WAX618 in environments with high client density and mixed device types; pair it with a compatible multi‑gig switch (supporting 2.5GbE) for full performance and manage multiple units centrally via NETGEAR Insight to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
