The WatchGuard AP325 Dual-Band WiFi 5 Access Point is an indoor access point and comes equipped with Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), connecting multiple devices at the same time and enhancing your secure WiFi experience. This access point also offers dual concurrent 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz band radios supporting 802.11a/n/ac Wave 2, 802.11b/g/n, two spatial streams, and data rates of up to 867 Mbps and 300 Mbps respectively. Common use cases include medium-density environments such as K-12 schools, small and midsize businesses, distributed office spaces, small-footprint retail, small meeting rooms, restaurants, and healthcare offices.

Key Features

• Includes 3-Year Basic WiFi Licence (Basic WiFi includes Fireware Gateway Wireless Controller licence and Standard Support)
• 2 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 6 x integrated antennas, PoE+ power
• Wave 2 chipset offers the latest MU-MIMO technology to serve today’s medium-density environments
• The AP325 takes less than two minutes to activate and configure after connecting to the WiFi Cloud*
• Support for up to eight individual SSIDs per radio allows for maximum flexibility in network design
• Smart Steering automatically pushes clients with low speeds to a closer access point*
• Band Steering manages spectrum efficiency, pushing clients to 5 GHz channels for optimal throughput
• The AP325 continues to scan for wireless threats and enforces security policy even if the connection with the WiFi Cloud is interrupted*

Uniquely Effective Approach To Security

The AP325 supports the only Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) in the industry with high accuracy in classifying access points and client devices, properly enabling automatic prevention of WiFi threats and keeping a network protected from wireless man-in-the middle attacks, evil twins, honeypots, and more.

Flexible Management Options

You can either manage the AP325 with a Firebox (via the Gateway Wireless Controller) and receive a lightweight feature set, or with WatchGuard’s WiFi Cloud (not included with the Basic WiFi licence, see Secure or Total WiFi bundle options). With the WiFi Cloud you get an expanded set of features including patented security, marketing tools, and location-based analytics for optimal business insights. IT pros can also enjoy an entirely controller-less WiFi management experience including setup, configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, and improved corporate and guest WiFi access, without worrying about the limitations of legacy controller infrastructure. WiFi Cloud environments easily scale from one to an unlimited number of access points across multiple locations. Access points can be grouped in many ways including location, building, floor, and customer to maintain consistent policies.

Performance Without Compromise

By incorporating the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standards, you’ll have speeds of up to 867 Mbps over the air, without sacrificing security. With MU-MIMO you get faster user experience, serving multiple devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops) at the same time, so more clients can utilise the network more efficiently.

*Must have WiFi Cloud enabled with Secure WiFi or Total WiFi licence. See alternative drop down options for Secure or Total WiFi appliance bundles.
