Product Features
Technical Overview
This Wi-Fi 6 access point achieves AX3000 performance with 3 Gbps aggregate wireless throughput across dual-band operation. The 2.4 GHz radio operates as 2x2:2 MU-MIMO while the 5 GHz radio delivers 3x3:2 MU-MIMO capability, both supporting OFDMA technology for efficient multi-user communication.
Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms ensure real-time performance for latency-sensitive applications like voice and video. The security architecture includes anti-hacking secure boot processes and critical data/control lockdown through digital signatures, with each device featuring a unique security certificate and random default password.
