CONFIGURE THE AP DEVICE WITH WATCHGUARD WI-FI CLOUD
Connect the AP device
• Connect an Ethernet cable between your network and the
Ethernet (LAN) interface on your AP device.
• You must enable DHCP on the network where you connect the AP device.
- Make sure that the AP device has Internet connectivity and can communicate to WatchGuard
Wi-Fi Cloud services on these ports:
HTTP TCP 80/443
;
UDP 123 (NTP)
; and
UDP 3851
.
If you have a Firebox the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud policy opens the necessary ports.
• Connect the optional power adapter or PoE injector (sold separately).
• After you power on the AP device, wait a few minutes until the Power indicator and the Ethernet
(LAN) indicator turn solid green. This shows the AP device is online and can communicate with the
WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud.
