All specifications are subject to change without notice.

  1. Conducted typical transmit output power excludes antenna gain. For total (EIRP) transmit power, add antenna gain.
  2. The antenna is not embedded and external antennas are separately sold.
  3. Features supported when working with Zyxel NXC controller series (ZyMesh feature on WAC6500 Series is available from FW release 4.21 or above.)
  4. WDS, ZyMesh, Smart Mesh and Industry’s Open Mesh, Easy Mesh are different mesh systems that do not work with one another
  5. Compatible with 802.3af mode with restricted function: 1x3 MIMO or 1x2 MIMO with 1 spatial stream.
