Get to Know the WAP361 Wireless-AC N Dual Radio Wall Plate Access Point with PoE

 

Introduction

The WAP361 Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Wall Plate Access Point with PoE uses concurrent dual-band radio for improved coverage and user capacity. Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces with Power over Ethernet (PoE) facilitate flexible installation and reduce cabling and wiring costs.

To provide highly secure guest access to visitors and other users, WAP361 supports a captive portal with multiple authentication options and the ability to configure rights, roles, and bandwidth. Configure a cluster of WAPs for seamless roaming within a campus and manage them through a single IP address.

Product Features

• Concurrent dual-band radio support up to 1.2 Gbps on both radios to make the most of capacity and coverage
• Single Point Setup, a controller-less technology, simplifies the deployment and management of multiple access points without requiring additional hardware
• Five Gigabit Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) interfaces can enable a high-speed uplink to the wired network and also link aggregation support to increase the overall bandwidth between the two ports
• A captive portal support facilitates highly secure, customized guest access with multiple rights and roles
• Simple installation through a Setup Wizard and an intuitive web-based configuration facilitate fast, simple deployment, and setup in minutes
• Support for Power over Ethernet (POE) allows for easy installation without expensive additional wiring
