This model ships without antennas. The six N-Type connectors take external antennas sold separately — budget for them, and for the pattern that suits the site, when specifying this unit.
Actual transmit power is the lowest of the value set in the radio settings, the maximum allowed in the regulatory domain, and the maximum supported by the radio.
Frequency bands shown are the USA and Canada (FCC/IC) transmission ranges; the European (ETSI) ranges differ.
The summary and feature list describe WPA3 encryption, while the Access Point Mode row lists only WPA/WPA2 (802.11i). Both are reproduced above — confirm the supported mode with us if WPA3 is a requirement.
The 5 GHz frequency band is printed as "5.15 ~ 5.85 MHz"; the unit is GHz, as shown above.
The datasheet gives operating humidity as "-5% to 95%". Negative humidity is not a physical quantity; read as 5% to 95%.
"ODFMA" in the 5 GHz modulation row has been read as OFDMA.
The licence comparison on this sheet (dated September 2021) places Captive Portal under USP Wi-Fi only, while the newer AP332CR sheet (December 2022) shows it in both tiers. The tier descriptions on this site follow the newer sheet. Confirm with us if captive portal is a deciding factor.
Part numbers are WatchGuard catalogue SKUs and are listed for reference. Availability and lead time are confirmed at quote.
