4x4 business class dual band 802.11ac 
The NETGEAR® Premium Business 802.11ac 4x4 Wave 2 Wireless Access 
Point (AP) delivers high performance with maximum client density for enter-
prises requiring ubiquitous and reliable wireless for all business applications. 
The WAC740 is a controller managed Access Point with ease of centralized 
management with all NETGEAR wireless controllers from small (WC7500) to 
mid-size (WC7600) and large-size (WC9500) deployment. The WAC740 
operates with Multi-User MIMO and can achieve speeds up to 600Mbps 
for 2.4GHz and 1.7Gbps at 5GHz. The WAC740 comes with 2 Power over 
Ethernet (PoE) ports, including one port that can handle up to 2.5Gbps of 
throughput, enabling a single wire to connect to a 2.5Gbps capable switch  
for ease of wiring installation.
Features
• MU-MIMO maximizes the use of wireless 
medium for delivery of high throughput 
content
• Compact and elegant design stylishly blends 
into the environment
• Concurrent operation in 2.4GHz (600Mbps) 
and 5GHz (1.7Gbps) for maximum wireless 
throughput
• Backward compatibility with 802.11a, 
802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n network 
devices
• Integrated Power over Ethernet (802.3af 
and 802.3at) lowers deployment costs
• Controller managed by WC7500,  
WC7600 and WC9500 allowing centralized 
management up to 600 Access Points in a 
cluster of controllers.
• Business-class security features include 
WPA, WPA2, rogue AP detection and 
802.1x with RADIUS support
• Easy mounting mechanism for quick wall or 
ceiling installation
• Internal antennas factory-optimized for 
maximum RF performance
• Antenna take-offs enable optional 
accessory antenna attachment for 2.4GHz  
and/or 5GHz operations
• AirQual monitors Wi-Fi channel utilization 
on the network, identify sources of 
interference. Log alerts on channel quality 
drop or overload 
Product Highlights
• ProSAFE 802.11ac AP Wave 2 provides a theoretical connection rate of up to 2.6Gbps per radio—roughly double the rates  
offered by today’s high-end 802.11ac access points
• Reliable wireless coverage with 4 streams of data based on 4x4 (Transmit and Receive) optimized internal antennas
• Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) increases efficiency and capacity – enabling clients to utilize the RF spectrum much more  
efficiently by allowing multiple-AP-to client transmissions, beamforming, wider bandwidth, and improved encoding
• AirQual feature enables spectrum analysis and interference identification
• Centrally managed by ProSAFE Wireless Controllers
• 2.5GBASE-T Multi-Gigabit support eliminates bottlenecks associated with standard Gigabit Ethernet (NBASE-T switch  
required to obtain speeds higher than 1Gbps w/ a single port)
