Weatherproof Ratings and Durability

Outdoor access points are built with IP66 or IP67-rated enclosures that resist rain, dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Many models operate from -40°F to 158°F, making them suitable for year-round deployment in any climate. For climate-controlled spaces, see our Indoor Access Points.

Shop by WiFi Standard

Outdoor access points are available in both current wireless standards:

  • WiFi 6 (802.11ax) for reliable outdoor coverage with broad client compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

What IP rating do I need for an outdoor access point?

IP66 is sufficient for most outdoor installations, protecting against heavy rain and dust. IP67 adds protection against temporary submersion and is recommended for flood-prone areas or installations where the AP may be exposed to standing water. Both ratings are suitable for year-round outdoor deployment.

How far can an outdoor access point reach?

Standard outdoor access points cover 300 to 600 feet in open air with omnidirectional antennas. Directional models like the Ubiquiti airMAX series can reach several miles for point-to-point links. Actual range depends on antenna gain, transmit power, obstructions, and interference from nearby networks.

Can I use an indoor access point outdoors?

No. Indoor access points lack the weatherproof enclosure and operating temperature range needed for outdoor environments. Moisture, temperature swings, and UV exposure will damage indoor-rated equipment. Always use an access point rated for outdoor deployment with an appropriate IP rating.
