WiFi speeds on laptops and cellular phones have been significantly upgraded in the last couple of years with the introduction of the WiFi 6 and 6E standards. This trend combined with the growing number of network-attached devices has forced SMBs to upgrade their WiFi networks to improve performance and spectrum efficiency and enhance throughput. The WAX630E addresses each of these demands through a rich WiFi 6 feature set including wired and wireless mesh while also supporting the new wider 6GHz WiFi band. With the introduction of the WAX630E NETGEAR is helping to pave the way for a new generation of connectivity for small and medium businesses and Managed Service Providers.

"ISPs are now offering multi-gig speeds to their business customers. Simultaneously, client devices such as the latest Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel smart phones and several new personal computer systems from leading manufacturers are supporting WiFi 6E. This combination makes it an imperative for businesses to at least double the connection speeds for their underlying WiFi systems,” said Doug Cheung, Director of Product Line Management, SMB Wireless at NETGEAR. “The WAX630E will enable businesses to improve the bandwidth of their WiFi network by up to 2.5 times.”

The WAX630E features a tri-band mesh design that takes advantage of the latest WiFi 6E technologies, such as 160MHz WiFi channels on both 5GHz and 6GHz bands, and bi-directional MU-MIMO. Altogether, the WAX630E achieves a blazing fast throughput of up to 7.8Gbps, making it possible for client devices to have uncongested connections and ultra-fast internet upload and download speeds.

The WAX630E is managed by NETGEAR Insight or Insight Pro which provide centralized, remote, real-time cloud management and control, with no need for extra hardware. Insight and Insight Pro enable wired and wireless backhaul architecture for the most efficient deployments, either with or without ethernet cables linking up some or all the access points in a mesh WiFi 6/6E network. Insight Pro is an ideal choice for Managed Service Providers who can use it to support multiple customers, many with distributed locations.

For optimal performance, NETGEAR recommends the WAX630E be paired with NETGEAR’s Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (MS108EUP), announced earlier this year.

Security Redefined

In an increasingly connected and digital business environment, security has never been more important for small business owners. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, forcing owners to place added emphasis on how they protect their sensitive data, financials and customer information. Furthermore, with remote work here to stay, equipping employees with reliable WiFi security both in the office and home-office location is now an imperative. To answer these needs, NETGEAR’s new WAX630E access point provides enterprise-level security without the need for an enterprise IT budget. Business owners can easily configure and maintain the security of their network.

WAX630E security benefits include:

  • WPA3 for the highest level of WiFi connection security;
  • Eight individual wireless networks (SSIDs) can be used for administration, employees, guests and IoT devices (WiFi surveillance cameras, thermostats, door locks and sensors); and
  • Multiple VLANs for greater network separation and segregation between admin network, employee, visitor, HR, Finance, etc.

Key Features of WAX630E:
