Araknis AN-520-AP-O AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Outdoor Access Point

Wi-Fi 6 outdoor access point with 2.5GbE uplink, PoE+ power, and OvrC remote management

The Araknis AN-520-AP-O is a professional-grade Wi-Fi 6 outdoor access point built for reliable coverage in patios, courtyards, hospitality spaces, and business exteriors. It is designed to handle real-world outdoor conditions while delivering higher capacity and better performance for multiple devices, using modern Wi-Fi 6 features like OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and WPA3 security.

Why it fits outdoor Wi-Fi deployments

• Wi-Fi 6 performance: OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, and BSS Coloring improve efficiency and capacity in busy networks.
• Up to 3000Mbps class throughput: Designed for fast outdoor connectivity and smoother streaming in open areas.
• 2.5GbE LAN uplink: Multi-gig connectivity helps avoid a wired bottleneck when your network supports it.
• PoE+ powered: Simplifies installation with power delivered over Ethernet.
• PoE-out port (when supported by 802.3bt power): Can power a nearby device like a camera or secondary endpoint when used with the correct 60W switch or injector.
• IP55-rated outdoor build: Designed to handle rain, heat, and humidity in exterior installations.
• Roaming and steering features: Fast roaming, DFS, and band steering help keep clients connected smoothly across coverage areas.
• OvrC enabled: Remote monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting for fewer onsite visits.

Best use cases

• Outdoor patios and backyards where indoor Wi-Fi does not reach reliably
• Restaurants and hospitality courtyards needing stable guest Wi-Fi coverage
• Business exteriors and warehouses where outdoor coverage supports operations
• Outdoor camera and device areas where PoE-out can simplify wiring plans

1. Do I need a 2.5GbE switch to use it?
   No. It will work on a standard 1GbE network, but 2.5GbE helps you get the most speed and capacity when many devices are connected.
   
2. How do I power it, and can it power another device too?
   It’s powered by PoE+. If you want to use the PoE-out port to power another device, feed it from a higher-power 802.3bt (60W) PoE source.
   
3. Where should I mount it for the best coverage?
   Mount it vertically, higher is usually better, and aim it toward where people actually use Wi-Fi. Keep it away from large metal surfaces, and if you’re covering a big yard, multiple access points at lower power usually wins.
