• High-Efficiency Wi-Fi 6
• Cloud Management
• Multiple Power Supply Methods
• Fast Roaming
• Support Fit AP and Fat AP Mode

Product Specifications

Product Usage Instructions

To use the WI-AP218AX-Lite, follow the steps below:

1. Mount the device on the ceiling or any other suitable
   location.
2. Connect the device to a power source using either 802.3af PoE
   or 12V DC local power.
3. Connect the device to a network using an Ethernet cable.
4. Configure the device using the Wi-Tek cloud platform or the
   device’s web interface.

The device supports both Fit AP and Fat AP mode. In Fit AP mode,
multiple APs can be used to form a wireless network. In Fat AP
mode, the device can be used as a wireless router when deployed
independently. The device also supports fast roaming, which
provides fast switching to the access point with the optimal signal
when moving between APs.

For any further assistance or troubleshooting, refer to the
device’s user manual or contact customer support.
