Outdoor WiFi 6 Access Point AX3000

Product Overview

The WAVLINK AX3000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Access Point delivers fast, reliable wireless connectivity in demanding outdoor environments where standard equipment simply won't survive. Rated IP67 for full dust and water ingress protection and hardened with 15KV ESD and 6KV lightning protection, it is engineered for permanent outdoor deployment across construction sites, rural properties, farms, caravan parks, event venues, and industrial facilities. Built on the WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard, it delivers combined speeds up to 3000 Mbps across dual bands and supports up to 256 simultaneous connected devices. For properties beyond the NBN footprint, the AX3000 connects directly to Starlink satellite internet, distributing fast wireless across paddocks, sheds, workshops, and staff accommodation from a single unit.

Key Features

• WiFi 6 Dual Band Performance: Simultaneous 2.4 GHz (573 Mbps) and 5 GHz (2402 Mbps) operation delivers combined throughput up to 3000 Mbps, with full backward compatibility across 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards. Supports MU-MIMO and Beamforming technology for efficient handling of multiple devices simultaneously.
• IP67 Weatherproof Construction: Fully sealed against dust ingress and water immersion for reliable performance in rain, humidity, coastal salt air, and dusty outdoor conditions. Built for permanent installation, not occasional outdoor use.
• Superior Lightning Protection: 15KV electrostatic discharge protection and 6KV lightning protection safeguard the unit and your entire network infrastructure against electrical damage from storms, a critical consideration for exposed rural and rooftop installations.
• High-Gain Antenna Array with Dual Amplifiers: Four 8 dBi omni-directional fiberglass tube antennas deliver 360° coverage across large outdoor areas. Two built-in high-power amplifiers, a power amplifier (PA) to boost output and a low-noise amplifier (LNA) to minimise interference, extend reliable signal further than standard single-amplifier units.
• Starlink and Multi-Mode Deployment: Connects directly to Starlink for properties beyond the NBN footprint. Supports Mesh Router, Mesh AP, Mesh Extender, AP, Repeater, and AP+Repeater modes for flexible integration into any existing network topology, with one-click WAVLINK Everything Mesh pairing for fast multi-node setups.
• Flexible PoE Power Options: Accepts active PoE (802.3at/af) or passive PoE via a single CAT5e cable up to 100m, allowing installers to mount the unit on a pole, fence post, or building fascia with no separate power outlet required at the install point.
• WPA3 Security: WPA3-SAE and WPA2-PSK mixed-mode encryption protects against unauthorised access in open or semi-public outdoor environments.
