ExtremeWireless AP302W-WR: Enterprise Wallplate AP with Wi-Fi 6, IoT Support, and Integrated Switching

1. Product Overview

The ExtremeWireless™ AP302W-WR is a high-performance, enterprise-grade indoor wallplate Access Point and switch designed for multi-dwelling and hospitality environments. Combining Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology with integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee radios, this compact AP delivers seamless wireless connectivity, wired Ethernet support, and IoT readiness in a single device.

Ideal for hotel rooms, student housing, cruise ships, and residential units, the AP302W-WR offers advanced security, flexible mounting, and centralized management via ExtremeCloud® IQ.

2. Key Characteristics

• Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) 2x2:2 radios with peak rates up to 1.6 Gbps
• Integrated BLE and Zigbee for IoT device connectivity and location services
• Four Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE output for phones, cameras, and sensors
• Stateful L2-L7 firewall, WIPS, VPN, and Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) authentication
• Universal hardware platform compatible with on-premise and cloud management

3. Core Technologies

The AP302W-WR leverages 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 standards with OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and 1024-QAM modulation for improved efficiency and capacity. It supports dual 5 GHz or hybrid 2.4/5 GHz radio modes. Integrated BLE and Zigbee enable IoT deployments, while the embedded switch supports VLANs and PoE passthrough.
