Product Description
The Datto AP840 is a cloud managed indoor access point built on the WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It targets high density deployments — offices, commercial buildings, enterprise networks — where many clients compete for airtime.
Key specs
- Dual band: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneous operation
- 4x4 MU-MIMO with OFDMA: multiple clients served concurrently, improving capacity in dense environments
- Combined throughput: up to 3.6 Gbps (1148 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, up to 2400 Mbps on 5 GHz)
- Client density: up to 250 recommended concurrent users
- Wired uplinks: one 2.5 Gbps multi-gigabit Ethernet port plus one Gigabit Ethernet port
- Power: 802.3at PoE (48V DC) — single cable for power and data
- Radio extras: integrated BLE and a dedicated scanning radio
Management and mounting
Cloud management covers automatic firmware updates, remote configuration and monitoring, alongside captive portal support, user management, seamless roaming and self-forming mesh. For installers, the AP840 mounts to ceilings, walls or T-rail structures using the included kit — suited to indoor commercial fit-outs rather than outdoor or rack deployment.
The 2.5 Gbps uplink is the detail worth flagging on a spec sheet: it lets the AP840 pass more than a single Gigabit port would allow when the 3.6 Gbps combined wireless rate is under load from a dense client count.
