WatchGuard’s Wi-Fi management license options enable capabilities that support the business needs being faced today and offer the flexibility to evolve alongside the wireless needs of tomorrow.
Unleash the Power of Wi-Fi 6
Our Wi-Fi 6 access points significantly boost your network's performance and efficiency. They deliver faster speeds, handle more devices simultaneously thanks to improved traffic management, and extend battery life for connected devices with smarter power-saving features. This translates to a smoother overall Wi-Fi experience for users and reduced strain on your network.
Make Wireless Management Easy
WatchGuard Cloud lets you centrally control multiple WatchGuard access points, simplifying deployment, configuration, and security. You can monitor network performance, enforce security policies to block risky devices, and generate reports – all from a user-friendly online platform, saving you time and resources compared to on-site management.
Stop Hidden Wi-Fi Threats
With a dedicated security radio, the AP230W can use airspace monitoring to scan your wired network and wireless environment for suspicious access points. It can identify rogue or imposter access points (like "evil twins") that try to steal data or disrupt your Wi-Fi. This keeps your wireless network secure by giving you visibility into unauthorized devices and helping you block them.
Eliminate Risky Devices on Your Network
Enforce security policies on your Wi-Fi network by working with WatchGuard Endpoint Security to ensures that only authorized devices with approved security software (like WatchGuard EDR Core or EPDR) can connect. This two-factor approach verifies device health before granting access, stopping potential threats at the door and keeping your business network safe.
Kickstart Your Guest Network Experience
Create secure guest Wi-Fi networks with a captive portal and a login page that restricts guest access until they accept terms or provide information. You can choose a WatchGuard-hosted portal with basic customization or integrate with third-party services for a more branded guest experience, all managed through WatchGuard Cloud for easy setup and control.
