I mean the wAP ax is cheaper and offers faster wifi, plus it’s waterproof so you can use it outdoors. One advantage of the cAP ax is a faster cpu and more RAM, but if you need a complex firewall or VPN, a dedicated server makes more sense I guess.
Tbf the cAP has two Ethernets and PoE out so you can Daisy chain them. But is that all or am I missing something?
That’s a fair question. It probably just comes down to:
- Form factor
- Needing extra RAM to help support more clients
I hadn’t checked the specs till you brought it up, the WAP AX is pretty neat! One advantage I see is that CAP AX is omnidirectional, but that’s about it, that and what you mentioned as well
Ordered one yesterday, didn’t know about the wAP ax. But honstly, I find it really ugly and it doesn’t fit my use case, as I need to mount it on the ceiling. I want someting as close to a Ubiquiti AP as possible, and I think the cAP ax fits those requirements pretty well.
