Uniquely effective approach to security

The AP327X 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 manage the AP327X with either a Firebox (sold separately) via the Gateway Wireless Controller and receive a lightweight feature set, or with WatchGuard’s WiFi Cloud. With the WiFi Cloud you get an expanded set of features including patented security, marketing tools, network visibility and troubleshooting, location-based analytics for optimal business insights. IT pros can also enjoy an entirely controller-less WiFi management experience including set up, 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.

Intelligent network visibility and troubleshooting

WiFi Cloud helps IT professionals confidently provide answers to the most challenging WiFi network questions, bringing the most complete set of WiFi visibility, troubleshooting, and network health features ever introduced to the market. Pinpoint meaningful network problems and application issues by seeing when an anomaly occurs above baseline thresholds and remotely troubleshoot.

Ruggedised enclosure

The AP327X is IP67-compliant and tested to withstand the harshest weather conditions, so it can be mounted with direct exposure to the elements – no overhang or shelter required. This AP is capable of operating in temperatures -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F).

Dual-band omni antennas

Omni-directional (360 degree) coverage is ideal for installations where the AP327X is centrally located and client devices require connectivity in all directions such as school recreation areas, outdoor pools, manufacturing buildings, and public hotspots.

No need to rip and replace, just add WIPS

This WatchGuard access point has the flexibility to operate as both an access point and a dedicated WIPS security sensor. This means that when deployed as a dedicated WIPS sensor, the device works with your existing access points (Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, etc) and adds enterprise-grade wireless security protection to your network. In this case, instead of delivering secure WiFi traffic to users, WatchGuard delivers unprecedented WIPS security protection that is 100% dedicated to scanning the air and protecting your business from wireless threats.
