Extend Wi-Fi coverage without using wires and to do that in an automated way without manual configuration. The network allows to have several mesh APs. It is recommended to connect no more than 3 mesh nodes into a single chain. The NFT controller has a new network type called Easy Mesh. When the device is assigned to that network, it starts to operate as Node AP: if the AP has a wired connection, it will create two VAPs for access and backhaul; however, if the device has no wired connection, it will create an additional virtual station interface and will look for an access point with the “Backhaul” SSID. Every device should be activated this way from the controller to work under a Easy Mesh scenario. The NFT controller creates two open SSIDs by default, but the name and security settings can be changed. UAM is not allowed.
The NFT 2ac is a WI-FI access point based on 802.11ac technology with an integrated 2.4 and 5GHz (2×2) MiMo radios with 27dBm output power. The gigabit Ethernet port with 802.3af/at support allows powering the device with PoE switches. Two additional Gigabit Ethernet ports allow extending the network or connecting additional devices to the access point. Small form factor (15cm only), sleek design and unique mounting bracket makes the NFT 2ac ideal for indoor installations requiring cost-effective high-performance devices.

Infinity Controller: 3 Ways to Manage Your Network
Standalone
Each device is configured via the user interface individually. This method is suitable for small networks not requiring centralized management and monitoring.
Integrated Controller
The master access point manages and monitors other devices on the same network. This controller-less architecture is suitable for small to medium size networks with up to 50 devices.
External Controller
A local or cloud-based controller is used to manage and monitor the devices allowing deployment of large scale networks and management using a single system.
