Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on the IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac/ax/k standard, the TEW-940APBO2K leverages Wi-Fi 6 technology to enhance network efficiency and capacity. MIMO technology improves signal reliability and throughput, while the single 5 GHz band minimizes interference for stable wireless connections. The bridge supports a wide range of communication protocols such as RADIUS, LLDP, STP, SNMP v2c/v3, SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS, enabling detailed network monitoring and configuration.
Data security is reinforced with multiple encryption options, including WPA, WPA2, WPA3-ENT, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA3-SAE, ensuring protection against unauthorized access. The device's low power consumption of 10.10 W contributes to energy efficiency, and its compact dimensions—10.12" height, 3.23" width, 1.97" depth—facilitate discreet installation in space-constrained areas.
Relevant factors for this section include Wireless LAN Standard, Network Band, Frequency Band, Ethernet Technology. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
