Frequently Asked Questions
Do Sophos AP6 access points require a license?
Yes. AP6 Series access points require a Sophos Central Management license for full cloud management. A local-only option is available for single-AP setups without Central.
What warranty comes with Sophos AP6 access points?
AP6 Series access points include a limited lifetime hardware warranty, alongside firmware updates and Advance RMA support.
Can AP6 access points be managed from a Sophos Firewall?
No. AP6 Series access points are managed exclusively through Sophos Central. For firewall-managed Wi-Fi, the APX Series is the correct product line.
How are Sophos Wireless access points deployed?
Setup involves registering the access point in Sophos Central, creating a wireless network, and connecting — typically completed in minutes per site.
Can I scale my wireless network as my business grows?
Yes. Additional access points can be added individually to an existing Sophos Central deployment without re-architecting the network.
What support is included with Sophos Wireless?
AP6 Series access points include 24×7 phone support, firmware updates, and Advance RMA as part of the unified Sophos hardware support model.
Are Sophos AP6 access points compatible with other Sophos products?
Yes. They integrate into the same Sophos Central console as Sophos Firewall, Switch, and Endpoint products for unified visibility.
