Hardware Specifications
The WatchGuard® AP family of wireless access points provide secure, reliable, wireless communications while
delivering high performance and broad coverage—a perfect combination of services to meet the needs of
enterprise-level customers, small businesses, branch offices, campuses, and hotels alike.
WatchGuard AP devices feature 2x2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) capability and 802.11 a/b/g/n
wireless coverage and operate on both 2.4GHz (b/g/n) and 5GHz (a/n) spectrums, to provide users with
enhanced reliability and performance. Internal antennas, slim cases, minimalist labeling, and small LEDs,
coupled with wall and ceiling mounting options, make these devices ideal for low profile deployment
scenarios. Power is provided via an AC adapter or optional PoE injector when outlet access is not easily
accessible.
The WatchGuard AP is managed and controlled directly from a WatchGuard XTM device to provide
centralized, secure management and configuration of all WatchGuard wireless devices on your network.
This Hardware Guide describes these WatchGuard AP models:
AP100 — Single-radio 2.4/5 GHz switchable 2x2 MIMO 802.11n, provides up to 300 Mpbs data rate
AP200 — Dual-radio 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 2x2 MIMO 802.11n, provides up to 600 Mbps data rate
This Hardware Guide applies to WatchGuard AP100 and AP200 devices. If your WatchGuard AP device
has a different model number, your hardware is described in the WatchGuard AP Hardware Guide for
that model.
Requirements
The WatchGuard AP100 or AP200 device must be managed by a WatchGuard XTM device that uses Fireware
XTM OS v11.7.2 or higher.
See the AP100/AP200 Quick Start Guide or the WatchGuard System Manager help for informatioin about how
to use your XTM device to manage your WatchGuard AP device.
