The QNAP QWA-AC2600 in depth

Your NAS as a wireless access point

Install the QWA-AC2600 in a PCIe-enabled QNAP NAS and run the WirelessAP Station app, and the NAS becomes an access point that devices join directly. Bypassing the router avoids the bandwidth bottleneck of many devices accessing NAS files over a crowded network.

Extend wireless coverage

Placed in a central location, the NAS can act as a second access point to reduce Wi-Fi dead zones. Four 5 dBi omni-directional detachable antennas help boost signal and coverage across 2.4 and 5 GHz.

Also for Ubuntu/Linux PCs

The card uses the ath10k driver included in Ubuntu 17.10 and later, so a Linux PC can also serve as a wireless base station. More than one card can be installed for larger deployments.
