Outdoor WiFi 6 extender

The Wavlink WL-WN573HX1 is a weatherproof wireless range extender and media bridge built for outdoor deployment. It operates on 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands using IEEE 802.11ax technology to extend existing networks or create new access points. The unit suits installers who need reliable coverage across gardens, yards or remote outbuildings without running mains power to the device location.

PoE power and four high-gain antennas

A single 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port accepts 802.3 AF/AT active PoE or passive PoE so data and power share one cable run up to 100 metres. Four 8 dBi omnidirectional fiberglass antennas ship in the box and mount on the included holder with cable ties and screws. The hardware supports AP, repeater, mesh router and mesh extender modes plus MU-MIMO and OFDMA for up to 128 simultaneous clients.

IP67 enclosure rated for extremes

The sealed chassis carries an IP67 rating plus 15 kV ESD and 6 kV lightning protection and operates from -20 °C to 70 °C. One SYS LED and a reset/pair button sit on the housing for status checks and quick reconfiguration. Buyers who need an indoor plug-in repeater or a unit with multiple Ethernet ports for wired backhaul should consider other form factors.

Questions about this item

Do the four 8dBi fiberglass antennas need periodic replacement?

The four 8dBi omnidirectional fiberglass tube antennas are built for long service life and are designed to withstand strong wind and corrosion without scheduled replacement.

What limits throughput when the extender runs at full 1.2Gbps dual-band load?

The single 10/100/1000Mbps PoE port caps wired backhaul at 1000Mbps, so sustained aggregate wireless traffic above that rate will hit the Ethernet bottleneck first.

How hot does the IP67 enclosure get during all-day outdoor operation?

The unit is rated for continuous operation from -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F), so the sealed enclosure dissipates heat within that range without active cooling.
