Specifications
AP6 840 at a Glance
Wi-Fi 6 Performance
Dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz radios in a 4x4:4 design, built to keep up in high-density
rooms. WPA3 security and DFS channel support come standard, so more devices stay fast and protected.
Connectivity & Power
A single 2.5GbE uplink clears the gigabit bottleneck. It runs on
802.3at PoE+ (30W max), and the plain SKU ships without an injector, so pair it with a
Sophos PoE+ injector or a PoE-capable switch.
Cloud Management
Manage your full Wi-Fi estate in Sophos Central, right next to your firewalls and
switches. A local web interface is available for setting up a single AP6 on site.
Build & Deployment
Indoor desktop, wall, or ceiling mount, and plenum-rated (UL2043) for in-ceiling
installs. Backed by a limited lifetime hardware warranty.
Not sure which AP6 fits?
The AP6 840 is the high-performance indoor model. If you need Wi-Fi 6E and the 6 GHz band, or an outdoor
IP67-rated unit, compare the full AP6 lineup side by side and pick the right fit for your space.
No. The AP6 840 is managed through Sophos Central, the same cloud console you use for
your firewalls, switches, and endpoints. AP6 Series access points cannot be managed from a Sophos
firewall at all, so you do not need one to run them. You will need a Sophos Central support
subscription for each access point.
Both are high-performance indoor access points. The AP6 840 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6
unit covering the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The AP6 840E adds a third radio for Wi-Fi 6E and the 6 GHz
band, which opens up a cleaner, less congested space for high-density and high-throughput
environments. If 6 GHz coverage matters to you, go with the 840E.
Yes. To manage the AP6 840 in Sophos Central and get firmware updates, Advanced RMA,
and 24/7 support, you need a Sophos Central support and services subscription for each access point.
The hardware itself carries a limited lifetime warranty. Cloud features are only available with a
valid support contract.
The AP6 840 draws power over Ethernet using the 802.3at PoE+ standard, up to 30W. The
plain SKU ships without a power adapter or injector, so plan to power it from a Sophos PoE+ injector
or a PoE-capable switch. If you are deploying several access points, a Sophos PoE switch keeps power
and management on one console.
The AP6 840 is built for indoor use, with desktop, wall, or ceiling mounting and a
plenum rating (UL2043) for in-ceiling installs. If you need to cover an outdoor area, the IP67-rated
AP6 420X is the outdoor model in the AP6 lineup.
Sophos Central is the primary way to manage the AP6 840, and it is what unlocks
features like Active Threat Response across your access points and switches. There is also a local web
interface for setting up and managing a single AP6 on site, which is handy for smaller deployments or
initial configuration.
