NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the industry’s
leading provider of leading-edge networking products for the home
and office, has announced new features to its award-winning
Insight™ management solution, including a new 4-port integrated
gigabit Ethernet switch WiFi mesh access point, an Insight
supported 10-port gigabit switch with greater PoE capacity, Insight
support on more Smart Pro Managed switches and the addition of
Instant Captive Portal for all Insight managed wireless
products.
“NETGEAR Insight cloud management solution, now
in its third year, has proven to be a powerful tool for small
businesses to manage their networks remotely or for managed service
providers to better keep tabs on the health of their client
networks,” said Richard Jonker, vice president of product line
management for NETGEAR Business products. “The Insight platform
offers support for 22 different switches, access points and
security devices managed by way of a free mobile application
accessible on both iOS and Android as well as multi-customer
desktop solutions for service providers.”
New features to the Insight remote management
solution include:
NETGEAR Insight Instant
Mesh
NETGEAR Insight Instant Mesh combines two
industry leading and innovative technologies: patented tri-band
mesh WiFi and the Insight remote management platform. Instant Mesh
supports NETGEAR’s commercial-grade, high-performance wireless
access point, the WAC540, and the newly released mesh WiFi
multi-mode access point WAC564.
With the use of the Insight App and a few taps
of the screen, a network can be easily expanded to increase the
coverage area by adding up to 5 units of WAC540 or WAC564. One of
the five units will need to be designated as the root, which
connects the WiFi network to the internet; and the other four units
are named as extenders to expand the reach of the WiFi coverage.
Either WAC540 or the WAC564 can be the root or the extender,
configured by the user, or configured and optimized by Insight
automatically.
WAC540 and WAC564 can be used in a mix-and-match
fashion, giving businesses the ultimate flexibility in network
design and deployment. The WAC540 is ideal for businesses that run
on WiFi networks. Its PoE feature and the industrial design are
ideal for either ceiling mounting or wall-mounted placement. The
WAC564, with its integrated 4-port gigabit Ethernet switch,
designed for either desktop or wall mounting, is ideal for
businesses that run on a mix of both WiFi and Ethernet
networks.
NETGEAR Insight Instant Mesh WiFi
Multi-mode Access Point (WAC564)
The WAC564 is the industry’s first multi-mode
WiFi access point that can perform as a root or an extender in a
WiFi mesh network, or as a powerful stand-alone WiFi access point.
With its integrated 4-port gigabit Ethernet switch, businesses can
now expand their wired and wireless networks seamlessly, supporting
multiple unified SSIDs and VLANs.
In Access Point mode, enjoy the powerful AC3000
tri-band WiFi for your business. The WAC564 includes three separate
radios - a 2.4GHz and two 5GHz (low and high frequency bands) -
bringing a total of 3Gbps throughput to any WiFi devices. The
WAC564 offers advanced and easy-to-manage WiFi features such as
band-steering, beamforming, load balancing, airtime fairness, and
advanced roaming.
In Mesh Extender mode, each WAC564 connects over
the air to the WAC564 or WAC540, creating an instant WiFi mesh
network of one root and multiple extenders that quadruples the
range of coverage with unified SSID and VLAN settings, providing
the ultimate secure WiFi experience for any business.
The WAC564 helps small businesses expand the network and provide
powerful WiFi services:
- Nearby rooms where cabling is not available and in range of
current WiFi reception
- Rented or temporary spaces
- Neighboring office building1
- Any situation where cables cannot be run

guest WiFi access with social media login with analytics,
