Tri-band access point and mesh extender
The Netgear WAC564-100NAS is a tri-band wireless access point that also functions as a mesh extender with a built-in four-port Gigabit Ethernet switch.

Suits sites needing cable-free growth.
This device suits businesses that want to extend coverage without pulling new Ethernet cables while keeping existing VLAN and QoS policies intact. It also provides instant wired ports for printers, workstations and IP phones. Buyers who only need a basic single-band access point or who require a mesh system compatible with brands other than the WAC540 or WAC564 should look elsewhere.

The package includes a 12V 2.5A power adapter, an Ethernet cable, a wall mount with screws and a ceiling mount with screws. An installation guide is also supplied. These accessories allow the unit to be powered and fixed in place on either a wall or ceiling straight out of the box, removing the need for separate mounting hardware.
