Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 access point

The Netgear WBE718-111NAS is a tri-band wireless access point built for the Wi-Fi 7 standard. It operates across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands with a combined wireless data rate of 9.40 Gbit/s. Internal MIMO antennas and Multi-User MIMO support simultaneous client connections. The unit includes a single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and is managed through the NETGEAR Insight cloud platform.

Suited for high-density indoor deployments

This model targets offices, schools or venues that need low latency and high capacity from Wi-Fi 7 clients. Features such as Multi-Link Operation, preamble puncturing and 320 MHz channels help reduce congestion in crowded RF environments. Buyers who require multiple wired uplinks or a dedicated management VLAN on the LAN side should look at something else, as only one 2.5 GbE port is provided.

Verify PoE+ budget and mounting surface

Confirm that your switch can deliver sufficient PoE+ power for the access point before ordering. The package includes a wall and ceiling mount kit, so ensure the intended surface can support the hardware. A NETGEAR Insight subscription is required for full remote management features, so check licensing requirements for your deployment scale.

Questions about this item

Will my Wi-Fi 6E clients connect to the 6 GHz band on this tri-band AP?

Yes, the WBE718 supports IEEE 802.11be and the 6 GHz band, so Wi-Fi 6E devices can associate on that radio while Wi-Fi 7 clients use multi-link operation.

How can I verify the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet link is active after installation?

Check the port LED on the RJ-45 connector and confirm a 2.5 Gbit/s connection in the NETGEAR Insight dashboard.
