    Thanks for the quick reply.
    That explains that various online shops listed both APs with the same tec specs. The different antenna configuration is a bit of specific.

    The difference between NWA220AX-6E vs WAX620D-6E is antenna type.

    NWA220AX-6E with 4x4 + 2x2 MIMO embedded antenna. Ceiling-mount patterns for NWA220AX-6E.

    WAX620D-6E with 4x4 + 2x2 dual-optimized antenna. Ceiling-mount and Wall-mount patterns for WAX620D-6E.

                                          

                               Ceiling-mount                                                             Wall-mount


    In case using WAX620D-6E, you can choose Antenna setting as Ceiling or Wall.

    On Nebula, go to Access point > Configure >Radio setting > Click AP
    On Standalone, go to Maintenance > Antenna > Antenna Switch

    Hi @tremor,

    In addition, there are differences between Operating mode and Conducted typical transmit output power.


    1. Operating mode:

    NWA220AX-6E: Nebula Cloud managed/ standalone 

    WAX620D-6E: Nebula Cloud managed/controller-managed/standalone

     

    2. At 5GHz, the output power of WAX620D-6E is bigger than NWA220AX-6E 3dBm.


    To get the full spec, please refer to these datasheets:

    NWA220AX-6E datasheet

    WAX620D-6E datasheet
