Araknis Networks AN-520-AP-I AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Indoor Wireless Access Point

Araknis Networks AN-520-AP-I AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Indoor Wireless Access Point

The Araknis Networks AN-520-AP-I AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Indoor Wireless Access Point delivers high-speed dual-band wireless networking for residential and commercial installations. Featuring 2x2 MU-MIMO technology, theoretical wireless speeds approaching 3000 Mbps, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet uplink, this 520 Series access point supports demanding connected environments. Integrated OvrC cloud management enables remote configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Designed for professional network installers, AV integrators, smart homes, and commercial facilities, the AN-520-AP-I combines Wi-Fi 6 performance with advanced wireless traffic management. Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) enables efficient communication with multiple connected devices, while multi-user MIMO improves simultaneous wireless transmission. The access point supports maximum theoretical link speeds of 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 2400 Mbps on 5 GHz using 160 MHz channel bandwidth. Its 2.5GbE uplink accommodates multi-gigabit wired connections, while a secondary Gigabit Ethernet port provides additional wired connectivity. Whether expanding wireless coverage in a large residence, supporting connected devices in a commercial office, or deploying multiple managed access points, the 520 Series offers flexible networking capabilities.

The Araknis 520 Series integrates with OvrC cloud management for remote network configuration, diagnostics, and optimization. Advanced wireless features include automated channel selection, Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), band steering, WPA3 security, and IEEE 802.11r/k/v fast roaming. The access point supports up to 254 wireless clients and multiple configurable service set identifiers (SSIDs) for separating network traffic. Its compact circular enclosure supports ceiling installation and compatible optional in-ceiling mounting accessories. Power over Ethernet simplifies deployment through a single network connection, while a separate 12V DC input provides an alternative power option.
