Other helpful features include a USB port for attaching extra storage or a 3G/4G modem, PoE output on the last Ethernet port to power other RouterBOARD devices without needing an extra power adapter, and an SFP cage for connecting active or passive optical network modules. The RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT-US (USA) model is factory locked for 2412-2462MHz, 5170-5250MHz, and 5725-5835MHz frequencies, and this lock cannot be removed.
It is important to upgrade the router to the latest firmware once you initially access the device. This will ensure that you are taking advantage of the latest features and security updates, providing a more reliable and efficient wireless network for your home or office.
The hAP ac's versatility and robust features make it an ideal choice for a wide range of wireless connectivity needs. Whether you're setting up a home network, an office workspace, or a public access point, the hAP ac can deliver reliable and high-speed wireless performance, while also offering additional functionalities to meet your specific requirements.
One of the key advantages of the hAP ac is its dual-band capability, which allows it to operate on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, from older legacy devices to the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) compatible hardware. The Gigabit Ethernet ports further enhance the device's performance, enabling fast wired connectivity for devices that require a more stable and reliable connection.
The omnidirectional antennas of the hAP ac are designed to provide broad and consistent coverage, making it easier to place the device in optimal locations within your home or office. This is particularly helpful in larger spaces or areas with potential signal interference, as the high-power transmitter can help maintain a strong and reliable wireless connection.
The inclusion of a USB port on the hAP ac opens up additional possibilities for expanding the device's functionality. Users can connect external storage devices, such as USB hard drives or flash drives, to expand the available storage space on the network. Alternatively, the USB port can be used to connect a 3G or 4G modem, effectively turning the hAP ac into a versatile wireless gateway with cellular backup capabilities.
The PoE (Power over Ethernet) output on the last Ethernet port is a valuable feature for users who need to power other RouterBOARD devices without the need for an additional power adapter. This can simplify the installation and management of your wireless network, especially in scenarios where power outlets are limited or inconveniently located.
The SFP cage on the hAP ac allows for the connection of active or passive optical network modules, providing a way to integrate the device into fiber-optic network infrastructures. This feature can be particularly useful in commercial or enterprise-level setups, where high-speed and reliable internet connectivity is a critical requirement.
