- Mounting: desktop, wall or ceiling (bracket included).
- No power adapter or PoE injector in the box. Power it from a 802.3at (PoE+) switch port or injector.
- Sophos Fusion management: Sophos requires an active Support and Services subscription to manage AP6 access points in Sophos Fusion. Local management of a single access point does not need one.

- 24/7 phone support from Sophos.
Power check: plan 20.25W of 802.3at PoE+ per AP6 420E at the switch. Any Sophos PoE switch supplies it, for example the Sophos CS110-24FP (410W budget).

Frequently asked questions
What happens when the included support ends?
Renew support to keep managing the access point in Sophos Fusion, with firmware updates, advance replacement and 24/7 phone support. Ask us for a renewal quote before the 3 years term ends.
Can I manage it from my Sophos Firewall?
No. Sophos says AP6 Series access points cannot be managed from any Sophos firewall. They are managed in Sophos Fusion, or one at a time through the local web interface.
What powers it?
802.3at (PoE+) from a switch or injector; Sophos lists 20.25W at the switch. No power adapter or PoE injector is in the box.
Canada or US version?
Sophos sells regional versions of each access point. This listing is the US version. Order the version for the country where the access point will be installed.
What does Wi-Fi 6E add?
The 6 GHz band. Laptops and phones that support Wi-Fi 6E can use it for faster connections with less interference. Older devices keep using 2.4 and 5 GHz.
How many access points do I need?
It depends on floor area, walls and how many devices connect at once. Send us a floor plan and user count and we will suggest a number and placement.
