Mitel MTL-300AN WLAN Adapter
The Mitel MTL-300AN WLAN Adapter 51304977 is a dual-band wireless Ethernet bridge designed to add Wi-Fi connectivity to compatible Mitel IP phones and other supported Ethernet devices. Instead of plugging into a USB port, the adapter connects to the phone through its Ethernet interface and bridges that wired connection to a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wireless network.
Designed primarily for Mitel 6800 and 6900 Series phone deployments where wired Ethernet is unavailable or difficult to install, the MTL-300AN supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless networking, Gigabit Ethernet, enterprise wireless security, WPS setup, and multi-client operation. It is especially useful for offices, temporary workspaces, remote installations, and locations where compatible Mitel phones need network access without a dedicated Ethernet cable run.

Compatibility & Buying Information
Exact Part Number: This page is for Mitel part number 51304977, the North American version of the MTL-300AN Wireless LAN Adapter.
Wireless Bridge, Not USB Wi-Fi: The MTL-300AN does not plug into a phone's USB port like a conventional USB wireless adapter. The phone connects to the MTL-300AN through Ethernet, and the adapter bridges that Ethernet connection onto the wireless network.
6800 / 6900 Series: Mitel designed the adapter for compatible IP phones including applicable 6800 Series SIP and 6900 Series models. Phone firmware, communications platform, and accessory compatibility should be verified for the exact phone being deployed.
Phones with Built-In Wi-Fi: Newer 6900w models such as the 6920W, 6930W, and 6940W already include integrated wireless networking and normally do not require an external MTL-300AN for Wi-Fi connectivity.
Useful for Non-Wireless Phones: The adapter is most useful with compatible models that rely on wired Ethernet and do not provide built-in wireless networking.
Dual-Band Wi-Fi: The MTL-300AN supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks. Mitel recommends 5 GHz where practical because congestion and interference on the 2.4 GHz band can negatively affect real-time voice communications.
Enterprise Security: In addition to WPA/WPA2 pre-shared-key security, the adapter supports IEEE 802.1X enterprise authentication with EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP, EAP-FAST, and LEAP.
WPS Setup: When the wireless router or access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, the adapter can be configured using its front push switch without manually entering all wireless settings through the configuration interface.
Browser Setup: Wireless settings can also be configured manually by temporarily connecting a computer to the adapter's Ethernet port and using its browser-based configuration interface.
Multi-Client Operation: The adapter can operate in Multi-Client Mode and can bridge multiple wired Ethernet devices through an external Ethernet switch. Mitel documents support for up to 16 connected wired devices in this configuration.
North American SKU: Mitel documentation identifies 51304977 as the North American WLAN Adapter. The separate international WLAN Adapter part number is 51305106.
Not the Same as Built-In Wi-Fi: Because this is an external Ethernet bridge, it requires its own power and physical connection to the phone or Ethernet switch. Buyers wanting the cleanest integrated wireless installation may prefer a phone model with built-in Wi-Fi when available.
Best Fit: Mitel 51304977 is ideal for compatible Mitel IP phone installations where wired Ethernet is unavailable, difficult to install, or temporary, while still requiring secure 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz business Wi-Fi connectivity.
