With a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet uplink, it removes the bottleneck that crippled most Wi-Fi 5 access points: the moment your AP is faster than your switch port, your throughput stops scaling. Built into the Peplink ecosystem, it inherits centralised management, fast roaming, captive portals, and seamless integration with Balance and MAX routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for offices, retail and hospitality\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWi-Fi 6 is 45% faster than Wi-Fi 5, supports four times more concurrent devices, and uses less power on connected client radios. The AP One AX takes full advantage with up to 2400 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 1148 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, plus 256 concurrent users per radio and 16 SSIDs per radio. The 2.5 Gigabit uplink (instead of the standard 1 GbE most APs ship with) means you can actually deliver that bandwidth to the network rather than capping it at the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardware features 802.11k, v, and r for enterprise-grade fast roaming, so users moving across an office, warehouse, or retail floor stay connected without the lag spikes typical of cheaper APs. WPA3-Enterprise and WPA3-Personal are supported alongside legacy WPA\/WPA2. The built-in 5 dBi omnidirectional antennas cover both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands without external aerials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), simultaneous dual-band 2.4 GHz \/ 5 GHz, 4x4 MU-MIMO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eData rates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.4 GHz: up to 1148 Mbps; 5 GHz: up to 2400 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUplink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 2.5 Gigabit multigig Ethernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannel width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 \/ 40 \/ 60 \/ 80 MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcurrent users per radio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSSID per radio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmit power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.4 GHz: 25 dBm; 5 GHz: 25 dBm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntennas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in omnidirectional, 5 dBi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V DC adapter or 802.3at PoE+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 W max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e205 x 205 x 32 mm, 785 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 40°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor; ceiling mount kit included (9\/16 inch and 15\/16 inch T-rail)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFCC, CE, RoHS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-year limited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AP One AX is the right answer for offices and retail environments running Wi-Fi 5 hardware that's choking on dense client counts, especially anywhere with cloud video calls, large file sync, or real-time POS. The 2.5G uplink future-proofs it against the bandwidth ramp coming from Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 adjacent infrastructure. Pair it with a Peplink Balance, B One, or MAX router and InControl 2 manages the entire estate from a single dashboard, including SSIDs, radio settings, captive portals, VLAN tags, and per-client bandwidth control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor higher-end deployments needing Wi-Fi 7 or tri-band including 6 GHz, look at the AP One Enterprise.

However, to unlock central management across multiple APs and to sync VLANs, captive portals, and authentication with a router, pair it with a Peplink Balance, B One, B One Plus, B One 5G, MAX, or other Peplink router.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi 6 vs Wi-Fi 7?\u003c\/strong\u003e The AP One AX is Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). For Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), 6 GHz band, and multi-link operation, see the AP One Enterprise. Wi-Fi 6 is the right choice for most current device fleets; Wi-Fi 7 only delivers gains if your client devices also support it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be powered over Ethernet?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The AP One AX accepts 802.3at PoE+ from a switch or injector, drawing up to 23 W. Use a PoE+ activation kit (ACW-622) if your existing switch is 802.3af PoE only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e The AP One AX is rated for indoor use only (0-40°C). For outdoor deployments use the AP Pro AX (IP67) or AP One Rugged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does fast roaming work?\u003c\/strong\u003e The AP supports 802.11k (neighbour reports), 802.11v (BSS transition management), and 802.11r (fast BSS transition). Compatible client devices stay connected as they move between APs without the typical 2-3 second pause.
