NETGEAR Wireless Outdoor Access Point (WAX610Y) - WiFi 6 Dual-Band AX1800 Speed | Up to 200 Devices | 1x2.5G Ethernet Port | IP55 Weatherproof | 802.11ax | Insight Remote Management | PoE+ Powered

I replaced an outdoor Zyxel AP with this and it is about twice the size of the Zyxel. It had a bit of a hiccup on onboarding that required a hard restart, then a manual firmware update, but once that was done, it was off an running. This AP has excellent coverage for my outdoor wireless cameras, gate actuators and general WiFi around my property. I get about 500 mbps with clear line of sight from about 200 feet away. Managing the APs in Insight Manager is very easy and is refreshing compared to some of the other offerings for cloud based SDN management platforms.

The media could not be loaded. Really easy to install and set up with my iPhone having registered and downloaded the NETGEAR app.I really like the clean lines of it - no aerials or other bits sticking out of it - some others brands looks like they came from a Star Wars movie !I made a bracket for it to mount on so it’s not intrusive.I’m no geek but sure you connect it to a POE ( Power over Ethernet) cable - NETGEAR sell these which you hook up directly to your router. This is how it’s powered up.Our garden is 160 long and it beams the WI-FI signal out perfectly. I would think the signal extends well beyond this.As a test, I streamed a movie from Apple TV. It streamed perfectly just like inside the house.Would highly recommend this .

I have been using this for almost a year . It works well in direct line of sight . I have it about 20ft from the ground and it covers a good portion of my yard . I have water front property with a tiered concrete wall and patio area. The signal is definitely impacted when I am in the lowered tiered section so it appears the signal radius is rather symmetrical meaning it does not conform to major changes in the topography.I was not pleased with the performance after first buying this product as I have the matching and compatible same unit but indoor only version WAX610. Both are connected to a netgear insight supported Poe switch . I will say the products are working together on the same network now significantly better than when I bought them and I am now very pleased with the seamless connection/hand off and performance. My guess is the product was buggy when newly released and netgear has pushed several updates . I do believe they are constantly collecting data via insights and improving the product.

Amazing range, and I mean amazing. My property is roughly half an acre and I get 4 bars if not 5 even on the other side of my brick ranch. UI is very friendly and has a lot of useful features. Does multiple SSIDs, band steering, bridging, and the PoE+ made it easy to mount outdoors using just an ethernet cable. I get roughly 1.5 Gbps in network speed over WiFi. Overall a great purchase.

I went into the app to update the firmware and reboot the thing remotely since it’s been a bit flakey and now it’s saying I can’t without a premium subscription. Seriously? Never buying another Netgear again. Maybe there’s a way around these frickin nags but I don’t have time to navigate some dark pattern nonsense. Screw this company.

This Access Point allows me to connect to my network with excellent speed anywhere on my 1 acre lot.Very flexible configuration.

Ok but not great, I wish there was a better option for POE WiFi 6 access points in this price range. Speeds seem good enough but when it loses power the settings are reset and you must re-configure. You can back up your settings to make the restoration quicker but the backup requires a password and you aren't allowed to use special characters in the password. What?? NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN YOUR PASSWORD??? Maybe that could be patched with a firmware update? Perhaps. It came with V9.6.0.7 and the latest version is 10.5.0.14 but it refuses to update. The "Upgrade Now" button fails and manually downloading the tar gives a "Select a valid firmware file format." *shrug* I guess I'm stuck with outdated firmware. The UI itself looks good at first glance but the banner over the top covers the "Configuration" menu when the window isn't full screen.My last complaint is it doesn't come with a PoE injector. I know I just missed that in the description so it is on me but other similar access points come with one and if you don't have the correct version for this unit it doesn't broadcast at full power.

Best outside AP I have found…period. With my indoor netgear APs I can walk anywhere inside and outside without losing my WIFFI access. Forget trying to use all the other mesh and useless plug ends. Pick up the latest netgear 2.5 - 5 gig Access Points and Switches and your internet issues will go away!
