The WAX610 and WAX610Y are ideal in high-density client device environments such as businesses, schools, hotels, restaurants, and conference centers. They provide WiFi 6 speed, advanced WiFi network security, and remote cloud management with NETGEAR Insight, in addition to the following features:
- WiFi 6 performance and speed:
- Includes WiFi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) technology.

- Offers up to 40 percent higher speed for every client device.
- Can handle four times more client devices per unit (when all devices support WiFi 6).
- Provides one 2.5G Ethernet port for multi-gig wired network connectivity.
- Includes four streams of WiFi 6 and their dual band that consists of:
