EnGenius ECW336 AP
1. Introduction
EnGenius continues to introduce new products in the market, since Wi-Fi technologies keep improving and new technologies are introduced to the market. One of their latest proposals is the ECW336 Access Point, which promises 1Gbit WiFi, premium internal design with Qualcomm chipset, and great WPA3 Enterprise security for advanced network users.
The EnGenius Cloud Managed ECW336 6 GHz tri-band 4x4 WiFi 6E Access Point supports up to 8.4 Gbps using 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the newly released 6 GHz band. The seven super-wide 160 MHz channels greatly increase network capacity and reduce bandwidth congestion. The wide-open 6GHz spectrum will be occupied by newer more efficient Wi-Fi 6 client devices, such as the iPhone 15 Pro, MacBook Pro, MacStudio, and iPad Pro maximizing device performance and improving overall wireless security. There are twice as many channels on the newly opened 6GHz band that do not overlap with each other, greatly reducing network bottlenecks and enabling Gigabit WiFi. The ECW336 also supports a 5 GbE PoE+ port for easy AP placement, WPA3 Enterprise security, and “enhanced open” for stronger encryption and authentication.
