Netgear Inc. WAX210-100NAS AX1800 WiFi 6 access point

AX1800 WiFi 6 access point for small business

The Netgear WAX210-100NAS is a dual-band indoor wireless access point built for small offices, retail spaces and conference rooms. It supports up to 128 connected users and delivers a combined wireless throughput of 1.8 Gbps. Power over Ethernet supplies both data and up to 15.20 W of power through a single cable.

Practical limits of the WiFi 6 standard

The 802.11ax radio operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with a maximum range of 1,500 sq ft. Aggregate speed reaches 1.8 Gbps, split as 600 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1,800 Mbps on 5 GHz. A single gigabit Ethernet port caps wired backhaul at 1 Gbps, so total wireless throughput cannot exceed that uplink. The unit draws 15.20 W maximum and requires a PoE switch or injector compliant with that budget.

Check your existing setup before ordering

Verify that your network switch or injector can deliver at least 15.20 W over the Ethernet cable run to the mounting location. Confirm the site has a wall or ceiling surface suitable for the included mount kit and that the 1.2-inch profile fits the intended space. Ensure your router or controller can manage a standalone access point with up to 128 clients and WPA3 encryption. A PoE source and a gigabit wired path back to the core network are required.
