Wi-Fi 7 Ready Central AP Controller

Designed as the core controller for high-performance wireless networks, the BR-6478APC features a 2.5GbE WAN and 2.5GbE PoE LAN to connect a primary Wi-Fi 7 access point as the main coverage hub, while seven 1GbE PoE ports connect secondary APs in individual rooms. This architecture ensures high backhaul capacity where it matters most, while maintaining cost-efficient, scalable coverage across the entire space.
 

Integrated 8-Port PoE+ Power for Easy AP Deployment

With 8 IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports and a total 100W power budget, the BR-6478APC delivers centralized power and data directly to connected access points. This eliminates the need for local power outlets or adapters, enabling faster installation and cleaner cabling. Ideal for one-AP-per-room deployments, it significantly reduces installation complexity and overall deployment cost.
 

Smart PoE Switching with PD Alive Check

Built-in web-smart switch functionality includes PD Alive Check to continuously monitor connected access points. If an AP becomes unresponsive, the controller can automatically reset PoE power to restore operation. This intelligent mechanism minimizes downtime, improves network stability, and reduces the need for manual intervention or on-site maintenance.
 

Centralized Group Management & Seamless Roaming

The BR-6478APC enables centralized group management, allowing administrators to copy AP profiles, apply group configurations, and perform firmware upgrades across multiple access points simultaneously. Support for 802.11k / v / r fast roaming ensures smooth, uninterrupted wireless connectivity as users move between APs, delivering a consistent and professional wireless experience.
 

USB 2.0 Port for PC-Free Configuration & Maintenance

A built-in USB 2.0 port allows configuration files and firmware images to be stored and applied directly from a USB drive. Installers can deploy, upgrade, or maintain the network without a PC, making on-site installation faster and easier, especially in residential and small commercial environments.
 

Compact Design for Flexible Installation

Featuring a slim and compact housing, the BR-6478APC supports desktop or wall-mount installation to fit different deployment scenarios. Its space-saving design makes it ideal for small-scale professional deployments in homes, villas, retail spaces, and small businesses where discreet installation and reliable centralized control are essential.
