- Is the WAX620 a router or just an access point?
- It is an access point only. It extends an existing network and does not route or hand out IP addresses on its own, so you need a router or gateway upstream.
- Does it need a PoE switch?
- Yes, it is powered over Ethernet. You need a PoE switch or injector that supplies the power the unit requires, otherwise it will not boot.
- Can I manage it without the cloud?
- Netgear positions the WAX620 for Insight cloud management. Local standalone management is limited, so plan on an Insight account for full control.
- Does it support Wi-Fi 6E or the 6 GHz band?
- No. It is dual-band Wi-Fi 6 on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz only. For 6 GHz you need a Wi-Fi 6E model.
- How many devices can it handle?
- Netgear rates it for small to mid-size business loads rather than dense venues. For crowded spaces, plan on several units rather than one.
- What is in the box?
- The access point and mounting hardware. A power adapter and Ethernet cable are not included, since it is designed for PoE installation.
