ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless AC Access Point Model WAC740 Overview Model WAC740 is intended as a controller-managed access point for centralized management with a NETGEAR wireless controller from small (WC7500) to mid-size (WC7600) and large-size (WC9500) deployment. The access point operates with Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), provides concurrent operation in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands, and can achieve speeds up to 600 Mbps for 2.4 GHz network and up to 1.7 Gbps for 5 GHz networks. The access point provides one Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) port (LAN port 1) that can support up to 2.5 Gbps of throughput, enabling a single connection to a 2.5 Gbps-capable switch such as the NETGEAR M4200 Series ProSAFE Managed Switch. The second LAN port (LAN port 2) is intended for a LAG configuration, which enables the throughput to exceed 1 Gbps even if a 2.5 Gbps-capable switch is not present on the other end. Note: Because model WAC740 is not intended as a standalone access point, NETGEAR does not provide a separate user manual for this access point. You must configure the access point through a NETGEAR wireless controller. For information about configuring the access point, see the ProSAFE Wireless Controller Models WC7500, WC7600, WC7600v2, and WC9500 User Manual, which you can download by visiting downloadcenter.netgear.com.
