Wi-Tek - WI-AP218AX-Lite V2 - Ceiling Mount AP
Product Overview
WI-AP218AX-Lite V2 is a Wi-Fi 6 dual-band ceiling-mount access point designed for high-density indoor environments such as offices, hotels, stadiums, and supermarkets. It supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax with combined wireless speeds up to 1775Mbps, 2×2 MU-MIMO, OFDMA, 1024-QAM, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. 802.3af PoE, cloud management, fast roaming, load balancing, and automatic channel and power adjustment support flexible and efficient network deployment.
Key Configuration
Model: WI-AP218AX-Lite V2 | Wireless Standard: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax | Data Rate: 2.4GHz up to 574Mbps, 5GHz up to 1201Mbps | MIMO: 2×2 on 2.4GHz and 5GHz | Antenna: 4.6dBi on 2.4GHz, 4dBi on 5GHz | Connectivity: 2×10/100/1000Mbps Base-T Ethernet ports | Power: 802.3af PoE or 12V DC/1.5A | Coverage: Up to 140m²

Technical Context
OFDMA divides wireless channels into smaller resource units, allowing multiple clients to transmit efficiently and reducing latency in congested environments. MU-MIMO enables simultaneous communication with multiple compatible devices, while 1024-QAM carries more data per symbol to improve throughput. Automatic channel and transmission-power adjustment helps reduce interference in multi-access-point deployments.
Installation Notes
The access point is designed for ceiling-mounted installation and measures 186 × 186 × 35mm. It can receive data and power through one Ethernet cable using 802.3af PoE or operate from a 12V DC/1.5A input. Operating temperature is -20°C to 55°C with 5%-95% non-condensing humidity.
