This Wi-Fi 6 AP offers good performance, excellent cloud-management features – and fantastic value

Netgear’s business-class Wi-Fi 6 access points (APs) may have come a little late to the next-gen wireless party, but what an entrance: for only £130 exc VAT, the WAX610 combines 802.11ax technology with full cloud management and support for wireless mesh networks.

Like most APs, it’s a dual-band design, claiming connection speeds of up to 1,200Mbits/sec on its 5GHz radio and 600Mbits/sec over 2.4GHz. A single 2.5GbE LAN port is set into the rear alongside a power socket – although there’s no power supply included because the expectation is that you’ll use PoE.

For basic Wi-Fi services, you can deploy the WAX610 in standalone mode and use its local web console to manage it. For larger offices, Netgear’s Insight cloud portal is more appealing, as it can administer multiple wireless networks from one cloud console, along with any Insight-enabled NAS appliances, switches and routers. It isn’t free, but the price of the WAX610 includes a one-year subscription to the Insight Premium service, with subsequent years costing £10 per device. There’s also an Insight Pro tier, costing £25 per device, which is aimed mainly at service providers that want to assign user roles and rights, as well as manage multiple organisations from the same account.
