About the Universal Wireless AP4000
- Wi-Fi 6E/6 GHz offers three times the available unlicensed
spectrum and is currently available in the US and 40 countries. The
AP4000 uses the 6 GHz spectrum to deliver high performance in a
clean environment with low interference.

to meet new demands and challenges on Wi-Fi infrastructure, brought
on by new devices, applications, and users. Coupled with the
ExtremeCloud™ IQ network management platform, it allows for
simplified deployment, management, and highly secure Wi-Fi in
high-density environments.
- With three 2x2:2 radios, the AP4000 provides high-efficiency,
high-performance 802.11ax aggregate data rates up to 3.9 Gbps and
operates simultaneously across the 6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz
bands.
- Architected with the Broadcom FBAR tri-band filter, the AP4000
enables superior tri-band radio performance across 5 GHz and 6 GHz
spectrum without the need for a software or hardware upgrade.
- Additionally, the AP4000 offers the smallest form factor
enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6E access point (8" x 8" x 1.5") for
aesthetic and flexible placement. It fits easily into Extreme
mounting brackets when replacing previous generation access
