Introduction
This manual is for the following NETGEAR WiFi 6 Dual Band Wireless Access Point
models:
•
WAX202: WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Wireless Access Point
•
WAX206: WiFi 6 AX3200 Dual Band Wireless Access Point
Models WAX202 and WAX206, in this manual referred to as the AP, support 802.11ax
high performance WiFi connectivity and dual-band concurrent operation at 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz. The AP is designed to function standalone in a small office network or home
network.
You can use the AP in its default router mode with its router features enabled, directly
connected to the Internet, for example through a modem. You can also use the AP in
access point (AP) mode, connected to a device that provides routing functions in your
network. In AP mode, the routing features of the AP are not required so they are masked
out in the AP’s local browser interface (UI).
The chapter contains the following sections:
•
•
