Snap One has made available multiple new Wi-Fi 6 wireless access points from Araknis and Access Networks to further enable its partners and customers to benefit from the latest Wi-Fi technology and advanced remote system management.
Early August saw the introduction of Access Networks Unleased Wireless Access Points, following the acquisition of the company by Snap One in 2021.
The new Araknis AN-820 WAP combines Wi-Fi 6 with Snap One’s OvrC remote system management to simplify installation and long-term maintenance. The new WAPs are now available to Snap One partners and will be on display this week at CEDIA Expo on booth 16055.
“Wireless networks are the backbone of every modern integration and automation project, and this new expansion gives Snap One partners all the tools they need to deliver clients faster data speeds, improved connectivity and the surety of 24/7 system monitoring,” said Brian Holden, Snap One’s senior director of product management, networking & RMM.
“With time-saving features such as simplified setup interfaces and multi-WAP activation, plus the long-term savings and enhanced customer support enabled by OvrC remote management, these leading products deliver major value to both partners and users.”
The launch of Access Networks’ Unleashed range of enterprise-grade WAPs allows Snap One partners to outfit any project, residential or commercial, with a fast, reliable, self-healing wireless network. The new range offers advanced capabilities, including BeamFlex and BeamFlex+ technologies, that dynamically direct Wi-Fi signals to the most demanding devices. SmartMesh technology is also included which uses an integrated WLAN controller to navigate around and mitigate signal interference for projects with sparse ethernet connections.
The new Araknis AN-820 WAP offers major benefits to installers by combining the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology with the advanced remote monitoring and management capabilities of the OvrC platform. It features a 4x4 antenna that provides more powerful connections for more devices and offers simpler multi-WAP installation and management through the OvrC interface.

Wi-Fi 6 provides a number of specific benefits, including support for OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024 QAM and BSS Colouring to support higher network capacity and enhanced reliability. The AN-820 features a 2.5Gbps LAN port-in and offers support for multi-gig jobs. Users also benefit from the inclusion of DFS (dynamic frequency selection) channel support, which increases the number of Wi-Fi channels available.
Fast speeds and OvrC integration on the AN-820 deliver enhanced performance and convenience to installers, including simplified setup through the OvrC UI that makes multi-WAP installation easy. “Using the OvrC mobile or web app can eliminate hours of manual setup time by providing cloud-based access to add or edit networks, manage SSIDs and setup channel and roaming settings,” added Holden.
The new AN-820 Wireless Access Point also features more customisable configuration options for partners, including the ability to create new SSIDs with unique rules and conditions to control ‘Fast Roaming’ per SSID, provide band steering per SSID when both radios share the same SSID, create simple guest networks, and configure VLANs per SSID for network isolation and more advanced guest network needs.
