Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 access point
The Netgear WBE718-111NAS is a tri-band wireless access point built for the Wi-Fi 7 standard. It operates across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands with a combined wireless data rate of 9.40 Gbit/s. Internal MIMO antennas and Multi-User MIMO support simultaneous client connections. The unit includes a single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and is managed through the NETGEAR Insight cloud platform.
Suited for high-density indoor deployments
This model targets offices, schools or venues that need low latency and high capacity from Wi-Fi 7 clients. Features such as Multi-Link Operation, preamble puncturing and 320 MHz channels help reduce congestion in crowded RF environments. Buyers who require multiple wired uplinks or a dedicated management VLAN on the LAN side should look at something else, as only one 2.5 GbE port is provided.
Verify PoE+ budget and mounting surface
Confirm that your switch can deliver sufficient PoE+ power for the access point before ordering. The package includes a wall and ceiling mount kit, so ensure the intended surface can support the hardware. A NETGEAR Insight subscription is required for full remote management features, so check licensing requirements for your deployment scale.

Questions about this item
Do I need a PoE+ injector or switch to power the WBE718?
The access point is cloud managed and mounts on a wall or ceiling using the included kit; power requirements are not detailed in the supplied specifications.
Will my Wi-Fi 6E clients connect to the 6 GHz band on this tri-band AP?
Yes, the WBE718 supports IEEE 802.11be and the 6 GHz band, so Wi-Fi 6E devices can associate on that radio while Wi-Fi 7 clients use multi-link operation.
How can I verify the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet link is active after installation?
Check the port LED on the RJ-45 connector and confirm a 2.5 Gbit/s connection in the NETGEAR Insight dashboard.
