CONFIGURE THE AP DEVICE WITH WATCHGUARD WI-FI CLOUD
Connect the AP device
• Connect an Ethernet cable between your network and the
Ethernet (PoE+) interface on your AP device.
• You must enable DHCP on the network where you connect the AP device.
- Make sure that the AP device has Internet connectivity and can communicate to WatchGuard
Wi-Fi Cloud services on these ports: HTTP TCP 80/443 and UDP 3851.
If you have a Firebox the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud policy opens the necessary ports.
• If your network does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE+), connect the optional power adapter
or PoE+ injector (sold separately).
• After you power on the AP device, wait a few minutes until the Power/Ethernet, 2.4GHz, and 5GHz
indicators on the AP device light solid green. This shows the AP device is online and can communi-
cate with WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud.
