With the WAC740, SMB customers can opt for either using a bonded connection to the access point’s two Gigabit ports, or use its built-in single 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port to connect the AP to the network. This is the first appearance we've seen of a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.
The NETGEAR WAC740 also offers the flexibility to use either the four internal antennas or four installable external antennas that fit in the access point’s SMA antenna connectors.
Aside from using a power adapter, the WAC740 can also be powered by PoE+, giving customers better placement options by not having to be tethered to a power cord when placing their access point in its final location.
The NETGEAR WAC740 will be generally available later this month with an MSRP of $929.
