Enhance your small-to-midsize business with fast and reliable Wi-Fi connections by connecting the Cisco Business 240AC Dual-Band Wireless Access Pointto your compatible network router or switch. This dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 access point can be discreetly mounted onto a wall or ceiling to transfer data at up to 2333 Mb/s over the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. Both of the 240AC's Gigabit Ethernet ports support 802.3af/at power over Ethernet, allowing you to transfer both data and power over a single cable, which can be passed through to IP cameras and other devices when connected to a compatible switch. Alternatively, you can power the access point with a separately purchased PoE injector. Up to 50 (25 recommended) access points can be used to create a mesh network that operate using a single network ID (SSID) and password. Each 240AC access point also supports up to 25 Cisco Business mesh extenders to maximize coverage, providing users with smooth experiences as they browse the internet, watch videos, and more while moving from one location to another. Use the Cisco Business mobile app to configure, manage, and monitor your network and its connected devices.

Q: 1. Can I use the access point to give ethernet access via with wifi connection to router./nternet?

A: The TP-Link EAP653 AX3000 Wireless Dual-Band Access Point must have a wired connection to your router, either directly or via a switch. It will then provide wireless network (Wi-Fi) access to your network.

Q: 2. What is the difference between this and the Netgear WAX218 AX3600?

A: Netgear WAX620 has a faster RJ45 connection speed. 2.5Gb vs 1Gb.

Q: 3. Does it support 160MHz band?

A: The TP-Link EAP610 V2 AX1800 Wireless Dual-Band Access Point does not support 160MHz band. It is 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and supports 20/40/80MHz.

Q: 4. Does this create its own wifi network, or just extend a current one?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks WiFi 6 Pro Dual-Band Access Point will not create its own SSID and will just extend an existing wired network.

Q: 5. can i buy and use it on its own without the need to buy a controller ? for example, I can plug it into my current asus wifi6e?

A: Yes, the TP-Link EAP650-Outdoor AX3000 Wireless Dual-Band Outdoor Access Point can be used connected to an ASUS router without the Omada controller. The benefit of the Omada controller is centralized cloud configuration and management of multiple access points.

Q: 6. Does this require an Aruba account and/or cloud-based management? I need to set up an air-gapped network and all network management/configuration needs to happen locally. This would be attached via a 1Gbps port on an existing managed router.

A: Yes, the Aruba Instant On AP22 Dual-Band Access Point with 12V Power Adapter require an Aruba account for setup. A local connection can suffice as well. More information can be found at https://www.arubainstanton.com/techdocs/en/content/get-started/application-login.htm
