AP6 Series
Cloud management
Cloud-managed Wi-Fi 6/6E access points for indoor and outdoor use
AP6 Series access points cannot be managed from any Sophos firewall.
For models suitable for firewall management, see the APX Series.
The AP6 Series is a range of indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi 6/6E access points for management from the Sophos Central platform. With a broad feature-set and ultimate scalability, our cloud-managed models offer performance to suit both general Wi-Fi usage and the high throughput requirements of medium and high-density environments. Customers using other Sophos products can manage their Wi-Fi in the same console as all of their other security solutions. A local management option is also available for a single AP.
Wi-Fi 6/6E is the best choice for broad device support, excellent data rates, and enhanced security.

AP6 Series – Optional Accessories
|
Powering your AP6 Series |
As your AP6 Series access point will be supplied without a power source, you will need a compatible PoE injector or switch. An external power supply is available for the AP6 420. Check the technical specifications to determine if you need 802.3at (PoE+) or 802.3bt (PoE++). Further information and guidance on the AP6 Series power requirements can be found here: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000045501?language=en_US To reap the full benefits of the multigigabit connectivity on most AP6 Series models, we would highly recommend using one of our 2.5G switches. Further details can be found here: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/sophos-switch. |

Mounting Kits |
Optional mounting kits are available for all indoor AP6 Series models for flat-ceiling, plenum, or suspend mount. Check with your local Sophos partner for further details and pricing. |

|
Antenna Options for AP6 420X |
In addition to the omnidirectional antennas supplied with the unit, we also offer external antenna options for the outdoor AP6 420X to meet the requirements of additional usage scenarios. These can be purchased separately.
As the name suggests, the standard omnidirectional antennas are designed to provide relatively even coverage around the unit in all directions. These are suitable for usage scenarios where the connecting clients will be distributed around the access point. In some outdoor areas, there may be obstructions which can interfere with the signal. With directional/sector antennas, you achieve targeted coverage across an extended range and reduce wasted signal. |

APX Series
Firewall or cloud management
Firewall-managed Wi-Fi 5 access points for indoor use
Wi-Fi 5 outdoor model suitable for cloud-management only
For Wi-Fi 6/6E, see the AP6 Series.
If you prefer to manage your wireless protection from your Sophos firewall, our indoor APX Series Wi-Fi 5 access points are an ideal choice. These models have been widely deployed by customers seeking an all-in-one solution to manage on premises. The outdoor model in this range is suitable for cloud management only. While the indoor models can also be managed in the cloud via Sophos Central, we would recommend the AP6 Series for customers interested in cloud management.
Wi-Fi 5 is an option for customers seeking a traditional approach to Wi-Fi management, with basic connectivity needs, a relatively static environment, and limited scalability requirements.
