Description
NETGEAR Premium Business 802.11ac 4 x 4 Wave 2 Wireless Access Point, purposely designed for enterprises requiring high density and superior performance
The NETGEAR Premium Business 802.11ac 4 x 4 Wave 2 Wireless Access Point (AP) delivers high performance with maximum client density for enterprises requiring ubiquitous and reliable wireless for all business applications. The WAC740 is a controller managed Access Point with ease of centralized management with all NETGEAR wireless controllers from small (WC7500) to mid-size (WC7600) and large-size (WC9500) deployment. The WAC740 operates with Multi-User MIMO and can achieve speeds up to 600 Mbps for 2.4 GHz and 1.7 Gbps at 5 GHz. The WAC740 comes with 2 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, including one port that can handle up to 2.5 Gbps of throughput, enabling a single wire to connect to 2.5 Gbps capable switch for ease of wiring installation.
- ProSAFE 802.11ac AP Wave 2 provides a theoretical connection rate of up to 2.6Gbps per radio—roughly double the rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11ac access points
- Reliable wireless coverage with 4 streams of data based on 4x4 (Transmit and Receive) optimized internal antennas
- Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) increases efficiency and capacity – enabling clients to utilize the RF spectrum much more efficiently by allowing multiple-AP-to client transmissions, beamforming, wider bandwidth, and improved encoding
- AirQual feature enables spectrum analysis and interference identification
- Centrally managed by ProSAFE Wireless Controllers
- 2.5GBASE-T Multi-Gigabit support eliminates bottlenecks associated with standard Gigabit Ethernet (NBASE-T switch required to obtain speeds higher than 1Gbps w/ a single port)

With dual-band support for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, the NETGEAR WAC740 4 x 4 offers versatile wireless connectivity options. This feature ensures reliable, high-speed Internet access for a wide range of devices, enhancing user experience with smoother video streaming, gaming, and online communication. -
Robust security
The NETGEAR WAC740 4 x 4 is equipped with multiple encryption algorithms including WPA, WPA2, PEAP, SSL, TLS, and TTLS, alongside authentication methods like RADIUS, SSID, and SSH. This comprehensive security suite safeguards your network against unauthorized access and ensures a secure connection for all users. -
High-speed performance
Boasting a data transfer rate of up to 1700 Mbps and aggregate throughput of 1 Gbps, the NETGEAR WAC740 4 x 4 is designed to support high-bandwidth activities. Whether it's streaming high-definition content or transferring large files, users can expect a seamless and efficient networking experience. -
Advanced features for optimal networking
This wireless access point comes with features like MAC address filtering, Static Link Aggregation, and Transmit Power Control (TPC), among others. These functionalities enable efficient network management, improved data transmission, and enhanced overall network performance. -
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support
The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies deployment by allowing both power and data to be transmitted over a single cable. This feature not only reduces installation costs but also provides flexibility in positioning the device in optimal locations without worrying about power outlet availability.
