SET UP AN AP WITH WIFI CLOUD
Connect the AP
• Connect an Ethernet cable between your network and the
Ethernet (LAN) interface on your AP.
• You must enable DHCP on the network where you connect the AP.
- Make sure that the AP has Internet connectivity and can communicate to WatchGuard
Wi-Fi Cloud services on these ports: HTTP TCP 80/443 and UDP 3851.
If you have a Firebox the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud policy opens the necessary ports.
• If your network does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE+), connect the optional power adapter or
PoE+ injector (sold separately).
• After you power on the AP, wait a few minutes until the Power indicator and the Ethernet (LAN) indi-
cator turn solid green. This shows the AP is online and can communicate with the WatchGuard Wi-Fi
Cloud.
