Know before you buy
The tri-band configuration allows the access point to operate simultaneously across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. This reduces network congestion and ensures that high-bandwidth devices can utilize the 6 GHz spectrum for faster, more reliable performance.
Yes, the AP36 features a PoE PD port, allowing you to power the device directly through your Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the mounting location.
The dedicated scanning radio continuously monitors the wireless environment for interference and security threats without interrupting client data traffic. This ensures your network remains resilient and optimized for performance in real-time.
No, the AP36 is designed specifically for indoor environments. It is best suited for campus, retail, and general business office settings.
The AP36M offers additional deployment flexibility by allowing you to choose between built-in directional antennas or external pluggable antennas. The standard AP36 utilizes internal antennas.
Yes, the AP36 is backward compatible with IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards. This ensures that your older wireless devices will still be able to connect to the network alongside newer Wi-Fi 7 hardware.
