Wireless Access Point Edimax OAP1300 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11ac

The Edimax OAP1300 is an outdoor dual-band wireless access point designed for business environments that require durable hardware and high throughput. It supports IEEE 802.11ac (AC1300) with combined data rates up to 1266 Mbps across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, an IP56 weatherproof housing, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and enterprise-grade security features including 802.1x RADIUS and WPA/WPA2. The unit is suited for long-range outdoor coverage, point-to-point links and high-density deployments such as campuses, hotels, hospitals and venues.

Advantages

The OAP1300 provides high-speed dual-band Wi‑Fi (up to 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 866 Mbps on 5 GHz), wide coverage with adjustable RF output and high receiver sensitivity, and an IP56-rated weatherproof enclosure for reliable outdoor operation. It supports multiple SSIDs (up to 32), high-density performance for up to 200 simultaneous clients (100 per band), PoE installation and centralized management via Edimax Pro NMS / SKYMANAGE. Hardware design uses solid capacitors for increased stability and longevity.

How to use

Mount the OAP1300 on a wall or pole using the provided mounting kit and connect a compatible PoE switch or injector to power the device and provide network connectivity. Access the web-based management interface or use Edimax Pro NMS / SKYMANAGE for initial configuration, create SSIDs and security policies, and adjust RF output and channel settings to match the deployment environment. For AP array management, enable NMS on a designated AP to centrally manage a group of Edimax Pro access points.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, place the unit with clear line-of-sight to the coverage area, separate high-density client groups by assigning different SSIDs and bands, enable RADIUS authentication for enterprise users, and perform periodic firmware updates and RF surveys when expanding or reconfiguring the network.
