It has 60 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 5, 2026. Netgear WAX is a local integration that connects Netgear WAX access points to Home Assistant without the cloud. It adds binary sensors, sensors and switches, and the options let each of these three platforms be turned on or off. The switches turn Wi-Fi SSIDs on and off, which can be used to automate a guest network. An update sensor reports whether firmware is available, though firmware installation is done in the access point's own web interface. Client activity entries take their names from the reported hostname, a matching Home Assistant device name, or the MAC address. Setup happens in the UI with the device username, password, address and port, and tested models include the WAX-610, WAX-620, WAX-630 and WAC-510.
