Rugged Design for Extreme Environments

The AP Pro AX is built for continuous outdoor use. Its plenum-rated enclosure meets IP67 protection standards, making it fully dustproof and resistant to temporary submersion. The access point operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 °F to 149 °F, withstanding harsh weather conditions. With dimensions of 10.0 x 8.9 x 3.1 inches and a weight of 4.44 lbs (2.02 kg), it offers flexible mounting options. Power is supplied via 802.3at PoE+ or an external 12V power adapter, with a maximum power consumption of just 14.5 W.

Wi-Fi 6 Performance and Radio Technology

The access point supports simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MU-MIMO, achieving data rates of up to 574 Mbit/s in the 2.4 GHz band. Channel bandwidth is adjustable to 20, 40, or 80 MHz. Up to 16 SSIDs can be configured per radio module, and transmit power in the 2.4 GHz band can be adjusted up to 24 dBm. Automatic channel selection, neighboring AP detection, and transmit power control optimize the wireless environment automatically. For extended coverage, four N-type connectors are available for external omnidirectional antennas (2.4 GHz: 8 dBi gain).

Security and Access Control

The AP Pro AX provides a comprehensive security suite. Supported protocols include open networks, Enhanced Open (OWE), WPA3-Personal and -Enterprise, WPA2/WPA3, WPA2-Personal and -Enterprise, as well as WPA/WPA2 mixed modes. Per SSID, VLAN with QoS (802.1p/802.1q), bandwidth control, MAC address filtering, Layer-2 client isolation, and a limit on the maximum number of clients can be enforced. Client-specific features include VLAN via RADIUS, VLAN pools, and individual bandwidth rules. A captive portal can be deployed via InControl or the Peplink AP Controller.

Centralized Management and Network Integration

Management is available through a local web administrative interface, the cloud-based InControl platform, or the Peplink AP Controller. SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 enable integration with existing monitoring systems. The access point operates in bridge or router (NAT) mode and supports PPPoE, static IP, and DHCP. A management VLAN, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1d), and Wireless Distribution System (WDS, 2.4 GHz only) enhance network flexibility. Wi-Fi mesh ensures easy expansion of wireless coverage without additional cabling.
