Hardware Guide 1
Hardware Specifications
The WatchGuard® AP family of wireless access points provide secure, reliable, wireless communications while
delivering high performance and broad coverage—a perfect combination of services to meet the needs of
enterprise-level customers, small businesses, branch offices, campuses, and hotels alike.
Internal antennas, slim cases, minimalist labeling, and small LEDs, coupled with flexible mounting options,
make these devices ideal for low profile wireless deployment scenarios.
WatchGuard AP322 devices are intended for outdoor use and feature MIMO 802.11ac Wave 1 capability, and
dual radios that supports 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n) and 5GHz (11a/n/ac) to provide wireless clients with enhanced
reliability and performance. Power can be provided by any Power over Ethernet (PoE+) power source.
There are two ways you can manage your AP322 device:
Total Wi-Fi and Secure Wi-Fi with WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud
A powerful cloud-based enterprise wireless management solution for AP configuration, security, and
monitoring.
Basic Wi-Fi with WatchGuard Firebox Gateway Wireless Controller
Local management, configuration, security, and monitoring of APs directly from your WatchGuard
Firebox. The WatchGuard Firebox requires Fireware v11.12.2 and higher.
For more information about how to set up and manage your WatchGuard AP, you can find documentation

Hardware Description
Device Connections and Buttons
Ethernet Network Interfaces
LAN1: Standard RJ45 connector that supports link speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps and PoE+
connectivity. The WatchGuard AP322 can be powered by an 802.3at PoE+ connection on the LAN1
interface.
LAN2: Standard RJ45 connector that supports link speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps. This interface can be
used as a wired extension for a wireless SSID that has NAT enabled. For more information on how to
configure NAT settings for an SSID, see the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud Help. 
The LAN2 port cannot be used for link aggregation.
For APs managed locally by a Gateway Wireless Controller with Fireware v12.2.1 and higher, you can
bridge together the LAN ports on AP models that have two LAN interfaces. This enables you to extend
the wired network on the second LAN interface. For more information, see the Fireware Help.
Reset Button
Resets the WatchGuard AP to factory-default settings. You must use a paper clip or other small object
to press the reset button through the hole.
To reset the device to factory-default settings, power cycle the device (remove the power cable and
reconnect it again). While you reconnect the power source, press and hold the reset button for at
least 60 seconds until the power, LAN1, and 2.4 GHz indicators are green.
