Industry’s most powerful Wireless 802.11AC Wave 2 tri-band

Access Point with NETGEAR Insight management

One of the most problematic situations for any network owner/manager is when the

infrastructure runs out of resources and bandwidth and forkliﬅ upgrades are needed

to remedy the situation. Not any more with The NETGEAR® AC3000 Tri-band WiFi

Business Access Point WAC540. It is a sophisticated access point with 3 radios that

can handle any situation where there are large number of WiFi clients demanding

service. Office locations with hundreds of employees with multiple devices (laptop,

notepad and smart phones) can enjoy WAC540’s performance and coverage together

with the ease of use that comes with Insight to overcome all demanding situations

when designing and provisioning networks.

Advanced features such as port aggregation together with PoE power allows WAC540

to utilize a bundled gigabit Ethernet for backhaul when powered via Ethernet PoE

ports while dedicating its 5G 4x4 radio for servicing even more clients.

Whether your business requires the WiFi network to support the users with office and

CRM and instant messaging tools, handling VoIP calls or hosting live video on smart

WiFi TVs around the office, WAC540 has the power to keep all of these applications

running smoothly.

Finally, the WAC540 is managed by NETGEAR Insight, for a more intuitive and innova-

tive support, with no need for extra management hardware from anywhere through a

smart device such as a phone, tablet or a laptop. WAC540 comes with 5 years limited

warranty, and 90 days of support including 90-days chat.
