Multiple WAX630E connections to Router

I want to install eight WAX630E access points in our corporate building for WiFi access. Do I simply hook them up to a 12-port PoE gigabit switch with an uplink to my internet router?

Thank you

    Yes, of course.

     

    Don't forget these AX APs are very capable, so don't go below 2.5 GbE switch ports (and the router uplink in case your physical wiring installation needs more than one connection).

      Hello Tom_Manchester

       

      And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂

       

      I recommend placing the access points in a location with a clear line of sight for optimal performance. Additionally, using different wireless channels in your area can help improve connectivity. If you would like to manage all your access points simultaneously, consider using our cloud-based management platform, Netgear Insight. For more information, please visit the link below.
