The Huawei eKitEngine AP361 (sometimes labeled AX1775) is a compact indoor access point engineered for modern business and enterprise Wi-Fi deployments. It supports the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard, delivering simultaneous dual-band connectivity on 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO) radios, with a combined maximum device throughput of 1.775 Gbps.
One of its standout features is the built-in smart antenna system, which dynamically adjusts signal direction and strength based on the environment, ensuring reliable coverage even as users move.
For power and connectivity, it uses PoE (IEEE 802.3af) over a single Gigabit Ethernet port, making installation clean and flexible without needing a separate power adapter.
In terms of management, the AP supports Fit, Fat, and cloud modes, and can be deployed and maintained via the Huawei eKit app, offering flexibility for various network architectures.
With its compact form factor (180 mm diameter, 35 mm depth, ~0.45 kg), it’s suitable for ceiling, wall, or T-rail mounting. Its low power draw (maximum ~ 8.8W) also helps reduce energy consumption.
On the performance and capacity side, the AP supports advanced Wi-Fi 6 features like MU-MIMO, OFDMA, 1024-QAM, and spatial reuse (BSS coloring), making it efficient in high-density scenarios. It can handle up to 128 simultaneous users (recommended ~80 for optimal performance).
Security isn’t overlooked — the AP supports WPA3, WPA2, 802.1X, and encrypted management via CAPWAP/DTLS.
Operating conditions are modest, with a temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C, which makes it ideal for standard indoor environment.
In summary, the Huawei AP361 (AX1775) is a balanced, efficient, and modern Wi-Fi 6 solution for indoor deployments where you need high capacity, flexible management, and clean PoE-powered installation.
