Wireless Access Point Lancom LANCOM LW-700 — dual-band 2.4/5 GHz, PoE, 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, AES/TKIP/WEP security

The LANCOM LW-700 is a dual-band wireless access point designed for business and professional environments. It operates on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands and supports current security standards including AES-CCMP, AES-GCMP, TKIP, WEP, WPA2-Personal and WPA3-Personal. The device provides wired connectivity via a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at) for simplified installation. With an aggregated maximum data rate across bands of up to 3.6 Gbps and a compact white housing, the LW-700 is suited for small to medium deployments that require reliable and efficient Wi‑Fi coverage.

Advantages

The LW-700 combines modern Wi‑Fi 7 features such as Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Multi-RU and enhanced 4096-QAM modulation to improve throughput, reduce latency, and optimise spectral efficiency in environments with multiple active clients. Integrated support for LANCOM Active Radio Control 2.0 automates channel, width and power optimisation to reduce manual tuning. LANCOM Active Power Control provides cloud-based energy optimisation, allowing lower power use during idle phases while maintaining service reliability. Management flexibility is provided through LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC), WEBconfig or a WLAN controller, enabling centralised or stand-alone operation depending on deployment needs.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized offices requiring stable multi-user Wi‑Fi
• Hotel guest rooms and common areas where discreet devices are preferred
• Medical practices and healthcare spaces requiring compliance with applicable equipment standards
• Sites that benefit from centralised cloud management or local controller-based administration

How to use

Install the LW-700 on a ceiling or wall using the supplied mounting plate and connect it to a PoE-capable switch or injector to provide both power and network connectivity. Configure basic wireless parameters, security settings and network integration either via the LANCOM Management Cloud for central management, via the WEBconfig web interface for stand-alone operation, or through an existing WLAN controller. Use the built-in automation features such as Active Radio Control 2.0 to scan, analyse and optimise channel and power settings automatically. For energy-sensitive deployments enable LANCOM Active Power Control to reduce consumption during idle phases.

Recommendations

Place the access point in a central, elevated location free from large metal obstructions for optimal coverage. For dense-user environments enable MLO and OFDMA features and use centralised management via LMC or controller-based operation to prioritise capacity where needed. Ensure PoE power budget and switch port configuration support the device's power requirements before installation.
