What is the maximum range of this access point?

Indoor range up to 100 meters (328 ft) and outdoor up to 300 meters (984 ft) under ideal conditions. Actual range depends on obstacles and interference.

Does it support multiple SSIDs or VLANs?

Yes, it supports up to 4 SSIDs with separate VLAN tagging for network segmentation.

Important Notice

This product MUST be installed by a professional installer who is familiar with local building and safety regulations, where appropriate, and is licensed by applicable authorities. The professional installer is responsible for making sure grounding is available and that it meets the relevant local and national electrical codes. Failure to employ a professional installer may render the product warranty void and it may also expose the end user or service provider to legal and financial liabilities. StarTech.com expressly disclaims any and all liabilities for injury, damage, or violation of regulations due to improper installation of outdoor units or antennas.

Always remember to protect the AP by installing grounding lines as it is necessary to protect your outdoor installations from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity. The AP must be grounded properly before powering up, as direct grounding of an outdoor AP is critical and must be done correctly to protect your networks from harsh outdoor environments and destructive ESD surge.

CAUTION: Be sure that earth grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. If in doubt always consult with a qualified electrician to make sure the outdoor installation is properly grounded. For additional lightning protection, lightning rods, lightning arrestors or RJ45 surge protectors may be used to compliment the installation.
