Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to key questions about our Wi-Fi Access Points to
help you choose the right solution for your network

What is the weather resistance rating of ion4x Wi-Fi 6 Outdoor Access Point?

This outdoor Access Point is designed to withstand harsh environments with an IP67 rating. This means it is completely protected from dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. It also has features like 6KV lightning protection and 15KV ESD protection to ensure reliability during storms.

Can ion4x outdoor Access Point be powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, this outdoor Access Point supports both 802.3at PoE+ and Passive PoE. This simplifies installation by allowing both data and power to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable, which is essential for outdoor deployments where power outlets may not be readily available.

How does Wi-Fi 6 outdoor Access Points handle a large number of connected devices?

The Wi-Fi 6 technology, specifically OFDMA and MU-MIMO, allows the outdoor Access Point to communicate with multiple devices at once. This significantly improves network efficiency and performance in high-density environments like outdoor cafes, stadiums, public parks or expansive spaces.

What are the best practices for placing an outdoor Access Point?

Proper placement is crucial. You should mount the Access Point with a clear line of sight to the desired coverage area, away from major obstructions like thick walls, dense foliage, or large metal structures. It's often recommended to mount the AP on a pole or wall at a height of 4-6 meters to maximize coverage and minimize interference.

Should I choose an Access Point with an omnidirectional or directional antenna?

The choice depends on your coverage needs. An omnidirectional antenna broadcasts the signal in all directions and is best for providing general, 360-degree coverage from a central location. A directional antenna focuses the signal in a specific direction and is ideal for covering a longer, more narrow area, such as a long driveway or a specific part of a yard, or for creating a point-to-point wireless bridge.
