TRENDnet’s high-performance AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 PoE+ Access Point, model TEW-921DAP, features two concurrent WiFi bands to maximize device networking speeds with the latest WiFi 6 technology. The two separate high-speed WiFi 6 bands provide speeds up to 1201Mbps on the 5GHz band, and 567Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. Faster speeds are possible on this WiFi 6 access point with 1024-QAM, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO technologies.

This WiFi 6 access point supports innovative networking technology that improves coverage, speed, and capacity. The increase of QAM to 1024-QAM allows data to flow through a much wider ‘pipe’ than previous WiFi technologies. With OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access), the number of clients that can be connected to this WiFi 6 access point increases. OFDMA efficiently manages traffic in congested areas by separating channel frequencies into different subcarriers. MU-MIMO technology processes multiple data streams simultaneously, increasing real-time WiFi performance on the WiFi 6 AP when multiple devices access the network.

The TEW-921DAP WiFi 6 access point features advanced access control, QoS, traffic management, band steering, and captive portal support. The low-profile housing design seamlessly blends into most environments, with a convenient wall / ceiling mounting plate included. For application flexibility, the TEW-921DAP supports Access Point (AP), Client Bridge, Wireless Distribution System Access Point (WDS AP), WDS Bridge, WDS Station, and Repeater modes.

Easily manage and configure TRENDnet’s AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 PoE+ Access Point remotely by updating the access point to the latest firmware for access to TRENDnet Hive. TRENDnet Hive is a remote network cloud manager that reduces management time and cost. No additional hardware, server, or personal cloud is required on this WiFI 6 access point with TRENDnet’s reliable cloud service.

*Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials and other conditions. For maximum performance of up to 1201Mbps, use with a 1201Mbps 802.11ax wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 867Mbps use with an 867Mbps 802.11ac wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 400Mbps, use with a 400Mbps 802.11n wireless adapter. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) requires the use of multiple MU-MIMO enabled wireless adapters.

**Due to regulatory requirements, the wireless channels specified cannot be statically assigned, but will be available within the available wireless channels when set to auto.
