Provide protection to wireless networks and Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as laptops and mobile phones. These devices are the perfect choice for our customer's facilities.
  • enable wireless access on watchguard-based networks
  • ensure reliable performances
  • allow fast wireless data transfer operations
  • Greater coverage range
  • Simpler management GUI
  • Better setup procedure
Based on my experience, Watchguard Secure Wi-Fi solutions are ideal for medim-size enterprise environments. They ensure stable and reliable network connections and are the best choice for Watchguard-based networks. However, they don't provide the same performances as other higher level devices. Another good point is their valuablel price-quality ratio if compared to other brands.

I'm using this solution to have a better visibility of connected client end to increase level of security on Wi-Fi.<br>This solution is made for a Business Customer where is it necessary to have an high level of security against unwanted wireles access.<br>This is made managing all environment of AP and Client authorized to connect.
  • Better detail of Client connection activity
  • Wide list of reports
  • Better Access Portal to manage Guest Client
  • Complexity of security policy
  • Only WiFi 5
  • High price
In private complex building where no other wireless network are present or interferencing. In this case is it easy to define policy and to monitor environment.
In consumer home or flat office is it hard to have high security on wireless access due the massive presence of adiacent wireless network. It's very easy to create access block on other network.
