Insight Managed WiFi 6E AXE7800 Tri-band Multi-Gig Access Point Model WAX630E

Introduction

This manual is for the NETGEAR Insight Managed WiFi 6E AXE7800 Tri-band Multi-Gig

Access Point model WAX630E.

Model WAX630E, in this manual referred to as the access point, supports IEEE 802.11ax,

eight (2+4+2) streams of WiFi, and tri-band concurrent operation at 2.4 GHz (2 streams),

5 GHz (4 streams), and 6 GHz (2 streams). The combined throughput is 7800 Mbps:

600 Mbps at 2.4 GHz, 4800 Mbps at 5 GHz, and 1200 Mbps at 6 GHz. The 5 GHz and

6 GHz radios support 160 MHz bandwidth.

The access point functions as a Power over Ethernet plus (PoE++) powered device (PD)

in an existing network connected to a PoE++ switch that provides 802.3bt power (60W

PoE++ power on the port that is connected to the access point). The access point also

supports a power adapter for connection to a regular switch. Model WAX630E ships

without a power adapter, and model WAX630EP ships with a power adapter. If you

ordered model WAX630E but prefer to use the access point without a PoE++ connection,

you can order a power adapter separately.

The PoE++ Ethernet port supports a high speed up to 2.5 Gbps. A second Ethernet

LAN port supports a speed of 1 Gbps for a link aggregation (LAG) connection.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• About the local browser user interface and NETGEAR Insight

• Additional documentation

Note: For more information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the

support website at netgear.com/support/.

Note: Firmware updates with new features and bug fixes are made available from time

to time at netgear.com/support/download/. You can check for and download new

firmware manually. If the features or behavior of your product does not match what is

described in this manual, you might need to update the firmware.

Note: In this manual, WiFi network means the same as SSID (service set identifier or

WiFi network name) or VAP (virtual access point). That is, when we refer to a WiFi network

we mean an individual SSID or VAP.

About the local browser user interface and

NETGEAR Insight

This user manual describes the local browser user interface (UI), which you use if the

access point functions as a standalone access point.

NETGEAR Insight remote management offers additional features and add-on services

that are not available in standalone mode. For NETGEAR Insight Premium and Insight

Pro subscribers, the access point supports the NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal and Insight

app:

•Insight Cloud Portal: Lets you configure and manage the access point remotely

through the portal of the Insight cloud-based management platform.

•Insight app: Lets you configure and manage the access point remotely from your

iOS or Android mobile device and connects to the Insight cloud-based management

platform.

For information about the NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal and Insight app, visit the

following pages:

•netgear.com/business/services/insight/subscription

•netgear.com/support/product/insight.aspx

•kb.netgear.com/000061848

If you install the access point as a NETGEAR Insight managed device, the settings for

features that you can manage through the Insight Cloud Portal and Insight app are

masked out in the local browser UI. However, using the local browser UI, you can still

manage the settings for certain features that might not yet be supported in Insight.
