AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Performance

High-Speed 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wireless Connectivity

The TEW-941APBO supports simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi 6 operation using the IEEE 802.11ax wireless standard. Its AX1800 architecture combines theoretical maximum wireless rates of 573 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201 Mbps on the 5GHz band.

The 2.4GHz band supports compatible devices requiring broader wireless coverage, while the 5GHz band provides additional bandwidth for network traffic and higher-speed wireless connections.

Both bands use a 2x2:2 MIMO configuration, allowing two spatial streams per band. Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technology uses multiple antennas to improve wireless communication with compatible devices.

MU-MIMO and OFDMA Technology

The access point supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), technologies designed to improve wireless efficiency when multiple compatible devices share network resources.

Additional wireless management features include airtime fairness, band steering, and received signal strength indicator (RSSI) thresholds for controlling client connectivity.

These capabilities help administrators manage wireless performance across outdoor environments with multiple connected devices.

Four 5 dBi Omnidirectional Antennas

The TEW-941APBO includes four detachable external antennas. Two operate on the 2.4GHz band, while the remaining two serve the 5GHz band.

Each antenna provides 5 dBi of gain with an omnidirectional radiation pattern, supporting wireless coverage around the installation location.

The detachable design uses RP-SMA antenna connections, allowing the supplied antennas to be installed after mounting the access point.

Outdoor Wireless Bridging and Network Expansion

Access Point Mode

In Access Point mode, the TEW-941APBO provides wireless network access to compatible Wi-Fi devices through its wired Ethernet connection.

This operating mode is suitable for extending an existing network into outdoor areas such as courtyards, commercial properties, recreational spaces, and warehouse surroundings.

Client Bridge Mode

Client Bridge mode allows the device to connect network equipment to an existing wireless network.

This configuration is useful when connecting Ethernet-based equipment at locations where installing a physical network cable back to the primary network is difficult.

Repeater Mode

Repeater mode extends connectivity from an existing compatible wireless network, providing another installation option for areas requiring additional network coverage.

Available performance depends on the placement of the access point, signal conditions, surrounding interference, and the capabilities of connected equipment.

Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Networking

The TEW-941APBO supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless bridging configurations.

Point-to-point networking connects two locations through a wireless link, while point-to-multipoint configurations can connect multiple compatible network locations.

These applications are useful for outdoor facilities, distributed buildings, and commercial properties requiring network connectivity between physically separated locations.

IP67 Outdoor Protection and PoE+ Installation

IP67-Rated Outdoor Enclosure

The access point features an IP67-rated housing designed to protect its internal electronics from dust and water exposure.

IP67 indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion under defined test conditions. The enclosure makes the device suitable for appropriately installed outdoor networking applications.

The included weather-rated cable gland helps protect the Ethernet cable entry point when installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

IEEE 802.3at PoE+ Power

The TEW-941APBO receives operating power through its Ethernet connection using IEEE 802.3at PoE+ technology.

This allows a compatible PoE+ switch or injector to supply power and network data through a single Ethernet cable, reducing the need for a separate electrical connection at the mounting location.

The device operates as a Class 4 PoE+ powered device with maximum specified power consumption of 25W.

2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Interface

A 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN interface connects the access point to compatible network infrastructure.

The multi-gigabit wired connection provides greater interface capacity than standard Gigabit Ethernet, supporting the device's dual-band wireless connectivity.

Its RJ-45 port also serves as the PoE+ power input.

Wall and Pole Mounting

The supplied mounting hardware supports installation on suitable walls and poles.

This flexibility allows network installers to position the access point around commercial buildings, outdoor facilities, and other locations requiring wireless coverage.

The detachable antenna configuration also simplifies handling during installation.

Wireless Security and Network Administration

WPA3 and Enterprise Wireless Security

The TEW-941APBO supports WPA3, WPA2, and legacy WPA security configurations for compatible wireless clients.

Enterprise authentication through RADIUS is available for organizations requiring centrally managed network credentials.

Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) is also supported, providing encryption capabilities for compatible wireless network configurations.

Multiple SSIDs and VLAN Segmentation

The access point supports up to eight service set identifiers (SSIDs) per wireless band, providing a maximum of 16 SSIDs across both bands.

Each SSID can support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN assignment, allowing administrators to organize wireless traffic into separate logical network segments.

These capabilities are useful for separating employee, guest, operational, and other network traffic within commercial environments.

Wireless Client Management

Administrators can configure client isolation, MAC address filtering, wireless client limits, and bandwidth controls.

Additional features include Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WMM), band steering, and adjustable RSSI thresholds.

These management functions provide control over network access and wireless resource allocation.

TRENDnet Hive Cloud Management

Optional Remote Administration

The TEW-941APBO supports TRENDnet Hive, an optional cloud management platform for remotely configuring and monitoring compatible network devices.

Administrators can access supported management functions through a web browser or mobile application, allowing network equipment to be managed without requiring direct physical access to each installation.

Supported cloud functions include network configuration, monitoring, and scheduled firmware or configuration updates.

Local Web and Command-Line Management

In addition to optional cloud management, the access point supports local administration through HTTP and HTTPS interfaces.

Secure Shell (SSH) command-line access provides another configuration method for network technicians.

SNMP v2c and v3 support allows integration with compatible network monitoring systems.

Network Monitoring and Diagnostics

The access point includes tools for network monitoring and troubleshooting, including event logging, ping testing, traceroute, and throughput testing.

Additional features include scheduled wireless radio operation, automatic reboot scheduling, channel utilization scanning, and connection monitoring.

These capabilities help network administrators maintain and troubleshoot outdoor wireless installations.

Commercial and Professional Networking Applications

Commercial Buildings and Outdoor Facilities

The TEW-941APBO provides outdoor Wi-Fi connectivity for commercial environments requiring wireless network access beyond interior spaces.

Its IP67 housing, PoE+ input, and flexible mounting options accommodate installations on building exteriors and other suitable outdoor structures.

Warehouses and Industrial Properties

The access point supports wireless network expansion around warehouses, loading areas, and distributed commercial facilities.

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and configurable network security provide flexibility for connecting compatible wireless equipment.

Campus and Multi-Building Networks

Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint operating configurations allow network designers to establish wireless connections between compatible equipment at separated locations.

This functionality supports networking projects where physical Ethernet runs between buildings are impractical.

Managed Outdoor Network Installations

Multiple SSIDs, VLAN assignments, enterprise authentication, and remote management capabilities make the TEW-941APBO suitable for professionally administered networks.

Its NDAA and TAA compliance status for applicable U.S. and Canadian models also supports procurement requirements for certain institutional and government installations.
