Description
AW5601 is a rugged, industrial-grade wireless access point suited for harsh conditions. Utilizing the 5GHz frequency band, AW5601 causes minimal interference with existing wireless devices, allowing easy upscaling of systems. Besides basic AP/Client modes, an additional WDS Bridge mode allows distribution from a WDS Root to multiple WDS Hybrids and wireless devices. WDS Root and Hybrids have the same wireless MAC address, SSID, and wireless channel settings, forming a larger, more flexible wireless network than simple APs.

Specifications taken from the manufacturer datasheet.
Which version do I need?
The documents list a single AW5601 model: one Gigabit RJ45 port with optional 802.3at PoE powering, 12-48 VDC input, and AP, AP Client and WDS Bridge modes. No regional variants are listed, and ATOP's selection guide ticks RED (2014/53/EU). If the site needs routing, VPN or Wi-Fi mesh, choose the AWR5805 (Wi-Fi router) or the CWR5805 (Wi-Fi router with 4G/5G) instead.
Typical applications for the AW5601
- Wi-Fi coverage for mobile AGV and AMR systems on a factory floor
- Extending a plant network over WDS Bridge from a WDS Root to multiple WDS Hybrids where cabling is impractical
- Connecting a cabled machine or panel to a wireless network in AP Client mode
- PoE-powered access points on DIN rail or field-mounted in industrial sites
- 5 GHz wireless links alongside existing 2.4 GHz equipment
- Wide-area industrial sites that need more flexible wireless coverage than a single AP

AW5601 — frequently asked questions
Which Wi-Fi standards does the AW5601 support?
ATOP's April 2025 selection guide lists IEEE 802.11 a/g/n/ac, with MIMO antennas and a maximum throughput of 867 Mbps. The unit uses the 5 GHz band to minimise interference with existing wireless devices.
Can the AW5601 be powered over PoE?
Yes, optionally as an IEEE 802.3at powered device on its single Gigabit RJ45 port. Otherwise it runs from 12-48 VDC on one power input.
What operating modes are available?
AP, AP Client and WDS Bridge. In WDS Bridge mode a WDS Root distributes to multiple WDS Hybrids and wireless devices sharing the same SSID and channel settings, forming a larger network than standalone APs.
Does the AW5601 support Wi-Fi mesh or VPN?
No. ATOP's selection guide lists a firewall on the AW5601, but ticks VPN and Wi-Fi mesh only for the AWR5805 and CWR5805 routers.
What is the difference between the AW5601 and the AWR5805?
The AW5601 is an access point and client with one Gigabit RJ45 port and optional 802.3at PoE input. The AWR5805 is a Wi-Fi router with 1 WAN and 4 LAN Gigabit ports, 2×2 MU-MIMO, Wi-Fi mesh, OpenVPN/IPsec VPN and optional 802.3af PoE input.
Which radio and safety approvals does it carry?
ATOP's selection guide ticks RED (Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU), CE (EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4), FCC Part 15 Subpart B Class A, UL 60950-1 and/or UL 62368, and EN 60950-1 and/or EN 62368, with industrial EMC protection.
