- Product Code: WL-WN573HBE2
- Availability: 34



The WAVLINK WN573HBE2 is a WiFi 7 BE5100 dual-band outdoor router built for year-round deployment in harsh conditions. IP67 weatherproof, dual PoE, 360° antenna coverage, and one-click mesh — one unit covers up to 300 meters. Ideal for farms, campuses, festival grounds, and large properties.
WiFi 7 BE5100 — Blazing Speed, Zero Lag
Next-generation 802.11be WiFi 7 delivers up to 5100Mbps total throughput — 4323Mbps on 5GHz and 688Mbps on 2.4GHz. Stream 4K video without buffering, game with near-zero latency, and handle dozens of devices simultaneously. 4K QAM modulation and Multi-Link Operation reduce interference and latency in busy outdoor environments. Backward compatible with all WiFi 6/5/4 devices.
Hardware: 1× 2.5G WAN/LAN port ensures your wired backhaul never bottlenecks — critical for multi-camera surveillance and live streaming.
360° Coverage — No Dead Zones
Four 8dBi fiberglass omni-directional antennas create a full 360° signal pattern reaching up to 300 meters outdoors. A dedicated 5dBi antenna fills near-ground blind zones that standard pole-mounted APs miss — keeping ground-level devices, seating areas, and equipment connected. Beamforming focuses signal directly toward each connected client for stronger, more stable links.
IP67 Weatherproof — Rain, Dust, Lightning, No Problem
Fully sealed IP67-rated enclosure shrugs off torrential rain, dust storms, and debris. 15KV ESD protection and 4KV lightning surge defense safeguard components during electrical storms. Fiberglass antenna housings resist UV degradation, salt spray, and temperature extremes. Built to stay online through coastal winters, desert summers, and mountain storms — not just survive them.
Power It Your Way — Active PoE or Passive PoE
No electrical outlet needed outdoors. One Ethernet cable carries both power and gigabit data:
- Active PoE (802.3at/af, 48V): Plug-and-play with standard PoE switches — perfect for campuses, hospitals, and surveillance systems.
- Passive PoE (54V DC): Long-range, cost-effective power for rural farms, orchards, and festival grounds. Injector included.
⚠ The PoE injector is not waterproof — install it indoors. Use CAT5E or better cable, max 100 meters. Mount the router 2–3 meters above ground for best coverage.
One-Click Mesh — Grow as You Go
Start with one unit, add more anytime. WAVLINK Everything Mesh pairs multiple WN573HBE2 units wirelessly with one click via the web interface (waplogin.link or 192.168.30.1). Five modes adapt to any scenario — Router, AP, Repeater, Mesh Router, or Mesh Extender — all maintaining a single SSID so devices roam seamlessly without dropping conne
Also mesh-compatible with WN586X3 and WN572HP3 (latest firmware required).
WPA3 Security — Your Network, Locked Down
Latest WPA3-SAE encryption protects against brute-force attacks, man-in-the-middle eavesdropping, and uorts WPA2-PSK and mixed modes for legacy device compatibility.
How to Install — Antennas & Cable
- Pass the Ethernet cable through the hex cap → sealing plug → hex stud → sealing ring (in that order).<
- Connect the cable to the WAN/LAN port. Screw the hex stud tight, insert the sealing plug into the stud, then tighten the hex cap counterclockwise with the included wrench.
- Screw the four omni antennas onto the 2.4G and 5G connectors and tighten.
How to Mount — Pole Installation
- Stick one silicone pad on the bracket, one on the pole.
- Thread the stainless steel hose clamps through the bracket fixing points.
- Secure the unit to the pole with the clamps. Tighten until snug — do not overtighten.

You'll need to provide: a CAT5E or better Ethernet cable long enough to reach from your indoor router/switch to the outdoor mounting location (max 100 meters), and a standard indoor power outlet for the PoE injector. If using Active PoE from a PoE switch, the included passive injector is not needed.
