Wireless connections are a given in any business nowadays. However, when it comes to wired networks, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/network-security-tools\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your architecture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will need some support for wireless devices.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where wireless access points (WAPs) shine through. More specifically, the WatchGuard lineup promises scalability on top of next-gen features. This article takes a look at the past AP 200 model and compares it to the newer AP330 to highlight the upgrade that it is.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5861cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f5861cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sifting Through WatchGuard Wireless Access Points\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a1bc81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a1bc81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These specific models are just a fraction of what WatchGuard is known for, but they have found popularity in their own target markets. It should be noted that the AP 200 met its WatchGuard end of life back in 2019. Although it isn&#8217;t in operation anymore, it offers a good look at what&#8217;s changed since its time on the market.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Differences aside, there are a few details, specs, and features found in both models. Some of these include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PoE support<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integration with WatchGuard\u2019s management ecosystem<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimized for deployment in enterprise and commercial spaces<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-profile and sleek design with simple mounting<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These aren\u2019t very technical details, but it won\u2019t be sacrificing WatchGuard quality just by switching models.
