Hardware Overview Model WAX206
The NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX3200 Dual Band Access Point Model WAX206 is an indoor,
standalone AP that supports a combined throughput of 3.2 Gbps (800 Mbps at 2.4 GHz
and 2400 Mbps at 5 GHz).
The 2.5 Gbps WAN port lets you connect the AP to a modem, gateway, router, or
Ethernet outlet for Internet connectivity.
IMPORTANT: The AP can provide an Internet connection with a speed of up to 2.4 Gbps
to high-speed clients on the 5 GHz radio. To achieve this Internet speed, the AP’s
2.5 Gbps WAN port must be connected to a 2.5 Gbps modem, gateway, router, or
Ethernet outlet that supports 2.5 Gbps Internet service, using a Cat5E or higher-rated
Ethernet cable.
Use the four Gigabit LAN ports to connect network devices through an Ethernet cable
directly to the AP.
