Enterasys WS-AP3705i 802.11n 600Mbps Dual Band Wireless Access Point PoE Wty
Enterasys WS-AP3705i — Dual-Radio 802.11n Wireless Access Point
A dual-band 802.11n indoor access point delivering up to 600 Mbps of aggregate Wi-Fi with Power over Ethernet for single-cable installation. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
- Dual-radio 802.11n, up to 600 Mbps: Concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios (300 Mbps each) serve legacy and modern clients at the same time for reliable everyday coverage.
- 2x2:2 MIMO with integrated antennas: Two spatial streams and internal omni-directional antennas give even, predictable coverage across offices, classrooms and retail floors.
- Power over Ethernet (802.3af): A single Cat5e/Cat6 cable carries data and power, so the AP mounts on a ceiling or wall with no nearby power outlet required.
- Gigabit uplink: The 10/100/1000BASE-T port removes the wired bottleneck so aggregate wireless throughput reaches the LAN cleanly.
- Controller-managed identiFi architecture: Centralised configuration, roaming and RF management through an Extreme/Enterasys wireless controller for consistent policy across many APs.
- Certified refurbished with 12-month warranty: Professionally tested and graded by Reboot IT — Melbourne's enterprise networking specialists since 2001.
Performance in Use
The WS-AP3705i is a dependable access-layer AP for standard business Wi-Fi. Its two radios run concurrently — 2.4 GHz for broad coverage and legacy devices, 5 GHz for cleaner, faster connections — so laptops, phones and IoT devices connect on the band that suits them without manual tuning.
With 2x2:2 MIMO and internal antennas, a single unit comfortably covers a typical open-plan office bay, meeting room or classroom. In multi-AP deployments the identiFi controller handles seamless roaming and RF power/channel management, keeping clients connected as users move between coverage cells.
As mature enterprise hardware at an accessible price, the AP3705i suits secondary sites, spare/replacement stock for existing Enterasys estates, warehouse and back-of-house coverage, and any deployment where 802.11n throughput is sufficient. It requires an Extreme/Enterasys wireless controller for management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this access point work on its own?
No — the WS-AP3705i is a controller-managed AP. It requires an Extreme Networks / Enterasys wireless controller (identiFi / ExtremeWireless) to configure and operate.
What wireless speeds does it support?
It runs dual-radio 802.11n with up to 300 Mbps on each of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, for 600 Mbps aggregate. Real-world throughput depends on client devices and RF environment.
How is it powered?
Via Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) from a PoE switch or injector, so only one Ethernet cable is needed. A DC power option may also be available depending on accessories.
Can I mount it on a ceiling?
Yes — it is designed for indoor ceiling or wall mounting. Mounting hardware requirements depend on your surface; a standard AP mounting bracket is used.
Is it compatible with my existing Enterasys network?
Yes — it is a native Enterasys/Extreme identiFi AP and integrates directly into an existing controller-managed wireless estate as additional or replacement coverage.
What condition will I receive it in?
Professionally cleaned, tested and graded by Reboot IT in Melbourne. Grade A (Excellent) shows minimal marks; Grade B (Good) shows light wear. All units are verified operational before dispatch.
What shipping options are available?
Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. This is a bulky/rack item, so freight rates apply.
12-Month Warranty — Every Enterasys WS-AP3705i sold by Reboot IT includes a 12-month warranty covering hardware defects and port/module failures. Each unit is professionally tested and verified before dispatch.
