The WAX204 joins an existing Business Essentials family of
high-performance, yet economical WiFi Access Points from NETGEAR,
which are ideally suited for small single-site locations. This line
of wireless access points is designed for the customer who does not
require remote management yet needs a simple local management
solution with an intuitive user interface. The products include
Desktop WiFi Access Points in WiFi 5 and WiFi 6, providing a range
of offerings to choose from. With a great combination of
performance and coverage at the right price for small businesses,
these new wireless access points are NETGEAR’s best value WiFi for
today and tomorrow.
As part of the new Business Essentials product range, the WAX204
provides today’s home office workers, microbusinesses and small
retail owners with a cost-effective solution to typical wireless
networking challenges. Problems such as spotty connectivity,
congestion due to limited bandwidth, dropped connections, low
speed, complex installation, and lack of security are all solved
thanks to the advanced technology built into the WAX204.
Delivering high-speed WiFi 6 technology that is affordable and
easy to install, the new WAX204 does not come with added
infrastructure or deployment costs. It’s the best value WiFi
solution for small businesses, home offices, cafes, retail, small
offices, and more. Engineered with the latest in WiFi technology,
WAX204 provides performance, coverage and security to keep your
home office, small business, employees, guests, and customers
connected.
Better coverage with separate
networks
In any home or business, getting the best coverage from a
wireless access point is the goal. The WAX204 leverages the latest
wireless standard, WiFi 6, to deliver more coverage than previous
generations of the technology. This advancement reduces dead zones
for a more productive and less frustrating wireless experience.
When everyone uses the same wireless network, each device is
competing for the available bandwidth. With the capability to
establish up to 3 separate wireless networks with separate
dedicated channels (SSID), the WAX204 maximizes the performance of
every connection. Now when working from home, there can be a
separate network for distance learning and another for streaming to
ensure there are no dropped video calls, and the transfer of large
files is trouble-free.
Higher performance
It seems every device today requires an internet connection
resulting in high-traffic congestion of the available WiFi network
bandwidth. Laptops, phones, tablets, security cameras, lights, TVs,
media players and even the refrigerator and printer are all
competing for access to the network. The WAX204 brings a higher
performance to the network with the new WiFi 6 standard by enabling
more devices to connect than ever before. Now all of your devices
can operate at optimum speed thanks to the 1.8Gbps bandwidth
resulting in speeds up to 40% faster over that of WiFi 5
(802.11ac). The WAX204 is also backwards-compatible, so even with
older devices you will experience an increase in performance.
Simple installation
The new WAX204 access point was designed to make installation
easier than ever. The intuitive, web-based interface provides a
guided step-by-step set up to provide a quick and seamless
installation.
Increased security
Whether in a home office or a coffee shop, security is more
important than ever and the WAX204 delivers with robust security
features. By offering the capability of setting up to 3 SSIDs that
segregates client devices from those on other SSIDs, the WAX204
helps to safeguard privacy and keep data secure. Additionally, the
access point uses WPA3 authentication for the highest level of WiFi
connection security plus a DHCP NAT server for enhanced firewall
security.
Additional features
Even in today’s advanced wireless world, a wired connection does
have its benefits. The new WAX204 access point provides 4 Ethernet
LAN ports for those who choose to use a wired connection for the
printer, gaming console, workstation, TV or even a laptop.
The WAX204 can also save you money due to its ability to act as
a router as well as access point. This functionality allows you to
forgo the cost and complexity of a separate router and simply have
one device to perform both tasks.
Support when you need it
The WAX204 comes with an industry-leading 3-year hardware
warranty and 90 days of phone and chat support for when you need a
helping hand.

The WAX204 WiFi 6 Access Point is available and shipping
today in the US - WAX204-100NAS (US) – MSRP $129.99. The
WAX204-100EUS (Europe and U.K.) will be available in Europe in the
