Insight Managed WiFi 6
AX1800 Wireless Access Points
WiFi 6 Access Points for the
Insight
The WAX610 supports the next generation
WiFi 6 smart phones, IoT devices, and
notebook computers, delivering up to
40% more throughput to each individual
device in the 5GHz band and 70% more
throughput in the 2.4GHz band, compared
to the previous generation equivalent
model; provides 4x the client device
connection, allowing businesses to serve
more customers with better speed and
less congestion.
The WAX610 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, WAX610 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 1-Year Insight subscription
included with WAX610 and WAX610Y.

In the past several years, the WiFi industry
has made progress in increasing speeds
by leaps and bounds. However, capacity
continues to be a challenge, namely,
supporting a large number of concurrent
users. This requirement is particularly
acute for businesses, where very high
throughput to each individual device
may not be the paramount requirement.
Rather, it is providing network connectivity
to a large number of client devices, with
good throughput, stable connection,
and robust responses to environmental
changes that is most important.
With the updated WiFi 6 (802.11ax)
technology such as OFDMA, upstream
and downstream MU-MIMO, and
increased speeds, coverage, and capacity,
you can feel condent 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 business WiFi network without any
slowdowns or blind spots.
Small and Medium Size Businesses
The WAX610, a WiFi 6 Business Access
Point, combined with Insight, helps small
and medium businesses with an easy way
to manage their network without an IT
expert, providing great WiFi connection
leaving each of their customers satised
as a network user. NETGEAR empowers
businesses with an all new WiFi 6 Business
Access Point for high performance and
high coverage for the years to come.
The WAX610Y is the outdoor version of the
WAX610. WAX610Y is waterproof and dust
proof protected by a P2i nano-coating and
meets the IP55 rating to withstand the rain
and outdoor atmosphere.
