Our most rugged long-range AP, now with dual-band support

More power and advanced features, with the same design philosophy as its predecessors: the new NetMetal ac² AP is rugged, reliable, easy to use and extremely capable. This is the best way to add IPsec hardware acceleration to your backhaul link! We've added concurrent 2.4/5 GHz dual-band support out of the box (2.4GHz and 5GHz can be used at the same time), with no additional tinkering required!

NetMetal ac² can handle massive loads as it features an upgraded 4-core CPU and 256MB of RAM. There is a miniPCIe slot for an LTE or other wireless modules and an SFP port for fiber. The NetMetal ac² can be a very adaptable complement for all types of configurations.

Two RP-SMA connectors allow you to add an antenna of your choice. If necessary, you can adapt the NetMetal ac² for lower range use with antennas such as our HGO-antenna-OUT threaded omnidirectional antenna unit (not included; available to order separately)

The cabinet has an IP rating of IP66 with splash protection from any angle, but can still be opened and closed with one hand. Very useful in difficult environments!
