The WBE750 is a brand-new, very capable access point from Netgear that is probably intended for business users. The WBE750, for instance, can be used to set up a wireless network connection at an office or hotel. The gadget is available in the US and EMEA for an undisclosed price (which includes a one-year subscription to Insight Cloud Management; interested buyers may contact the firm for clarification). Several publications suggest that this is $699.99.
The WBE750 supports WiFi 7, a brand-new wireless standard. The maximum data transfer rate is estimated to be 18.4 GBit/s. As always, this is a theoretical figure that can only be achieved in practice under optimal and less practically relevant conditions with suitable end devices. WiFi 802.11ax/BE, WiFi 802.11a/n/ac/ax/BE and WiFi 802.11b/g/n/ax are supported. According to Netgear, an area of 200 m² can be adequately covered with the WBE750. However, the actual range depends heavily on the room situation. Up to eight separate WiFi networks can be set up and the WBE750 can operate up to 600 devices.
With dimensions of 172 x 172 x 44 millimeters and a weight of just under 1 kg, the system is ideal for wall and ceiling mounting. The single Ethernet connection not only provides high-performance network connections, but also supports PoE. Power consumption is specified as 39 watts and the 802.3bt PoE standard is supported.
As previously mentioned, the price of the device includes a one-year subscription to Insight Cloud Management. This solution is designed to effectively monitor and control networks.
