Netgear WAX610Y-100NAS

Product OverviewThe NETGEAR WAX610Y is the outdoor, IP55-rated version of the WAX610 dual-band WiFi 6 AX1800 access point. It delivers up to 1.8Gbps total throughput over a single 2.5G/Multi-Gigabit PoE+ port and is managed through NETGEAR Insight cloud with no on-site WiFi controller. Built to withstand rain, dust, and sun, it extends commercial AV and IT wireless coverage to courtyards, patios, and other outdoor areas around the building.Product DescriptionThe WAX610Y carries an IP55 rating with a P2i nano-coating to resist rain, dust, sun, frost, and snow, operating across a -10° to 50°C range for year-round outdoor deployment. It runs 802.11ax WiFi 6 on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands in a 2x2 design providing four streams of data for up to 1.8Gbps aggregate throughput. WiFi 6 features including OFDMA, bidirectional MU-MIMO, BSS Coloring, and Target Wake Time keep airtime efficient as many client devices connect outdoors. A single 100/1000/2.5GBASE-T port supports 802.3at PoE, carrying power and a Multi-Gigabit uplink over one outdoor-rated cable run, and the unit is powered by PoE only.For commercial AV integrators, the WAX610Y closes outdoor coverage gaps so staff and guests stay connected beyond the building envelope. Enterprise security including WPA3, eight SSIDs, and VLAN support separates guest, corporate, and operational traffic, while NETGEAR Insight provides remote provisioning, monitoring, and firmware management from a single pane of glass. The unit forms an Instant WiFi Mesh backhaul with other WAX610, WAX610Y, WAC540, or WC564 units where outdoor cabling is impractical.
