The WatchGuard AP430CR is a high-performance, industrial-grade Wi-Fi 6 access point designed for demanding indoor and rugged outdoor environments. Encased in an IP67-rated enclosure, this device withstands harsh weather and industrial conditions, making it ideal for locations such as manufacturing warehouses, stadiums, and expansive outdoor campuses.

Featuring concurrent dual-band radios, the AP430CR delivers exceptional speeds up to 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz (4x4 802.11ax) and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz (2x2 802.11ax). An additional dedicated 2x2 dual-band radio provides robust security scanning to detect and mitigate Wi-Fi threats continuously. Integrated Bluetooth (BLE) adds enhanced connectivity options.

Connectivity is streamlined through its single primary multi-gigabit LAN port supporting PoE+ (802.3at) for power and data over one cable. External N-type antenna connectors allow flexibility, though antennas (e.g., WatchGuard WG9004) are sold separately. Internally, the AP430CR is powered by a Qualcomm Hawkeye IPQ8071A-1 quad-core A53 processor paired with 1 GB DDR4 memory, delivering dependable, secure, and fast Wi-Fi management.

This access point is fully managed through the WatchGuard Cloud platform, requiring an active license (sold separately), offering centralized monitoring, policy enforcement, and reporting tools. Its rugged design combined with advanced Wi-Fi 6 technology ensures your network's reliability, security, and performance in the most challenging environments.
