Huawei AirEngine 5761S-21 Indoor Wi-Fi 6 AP 02354VQL

Make the PoE class an explicit design decision

AirEngine 5761S-21, part 02354VQL, supports a 2.4 GHz 2x2 radio and a 5 GHz 4x4 radio with built-in smart antennas. The exact S model must be preserved through receiving and controller onboarding.

Full-function power modes

Huawei documents unrestricted operation with 802.3at or 12 V DC. Maximum consumption is 17.9 W excluding USB, so confirm the switch port budget, cabling and redundancy plan before rollout.

Know the 802.3af fallback

Under 802.3af, the 5 GHz radio is reduced to 2x2, the 2.5GE/PoE_IN port operates at GE, the secondary GE port is unavailable and USB is disabled. Record these restrictions in the low-power acceptance test rather than treating a successful boot as full capability.

Track the exact production part

Huawei notes that different production batches can have different appearance without functional difference, and that multiple part codes can have small weight or power differences. Store the actual part code, label photograph and source document with the asset.

Acceptance evidence

Capture controller and release compatibility, negotiated Ethernet speed, delivered PoE class, radio streams, secondary-port state, USB decision, BLE console result and mounting record.
