Overview:
The smarter way to simple, secure Wi-Fi
Sophos Wireless and our unified cloud management platform simplify your wireless network management and security, saving you valuable time and resources.
Sophos Wireless: As Easy as 1-2-3
Your Wi-Fi networks will be up and running in no time with our three-step setup.
One Platform
With our single-platform approach, your Wi-Fi is always just one click away from your next Sophos solution. You can manage your Wi-Fi alongside your firewalls and switches, endpoint and server security, email protection, and more.
Two Ways to Manage
Remotely manage your full Wi-Fi estate in Sophos Central or make individual AP settings in the local user interface (AP6 Series only).
Three Steps to Connect
Sophos Wireless is easy to set up and deploy. Create a wireless network, register your access point, save, and connect. This simple onboarding process ensures that your Wi-Fi networks are up and running in minutes.
Our Pragmatic Approach to Cybersecurity
Our range of award-winning solutions and services simplifies your security and allows you to focus on your core business objectives. While your IT peers are switching from one console to the next in their complex, multi-vendor environments, you can have a single pane of glass for everything.
Spotlight on Secure Access
Our portfolio includes products and solutions for secure access inside and outside of your network. We offer ZTNA to provide granular access to applications, SD-WAN and remote Ethernet devices to secure your branch office connectivity, Sophos firewalls for the ultimate in network security and performance, and switches to power your access points and offer better network control.
You could use multiple consoles to manage your access and security, but all you need is one.

Wi-Fi Portfolio:
As a scalable, cloud-managed solution, with support for the latest generation of Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, Sophos Wireless is our recommendation for all of your wireless networks. This overview explains all currently available options to set up and secure Wi-Fi networks.
Sophos Wireless
Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi
Sophos Wireless is our Sophos Central-managed Wi-Fi solution. It offers the broadest feature set, the best scalability, and exclusive support for the latest generation of Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, the AP6 Series.
As a single management platform for all of your Sophos security solutions, Sophos Central puts your Wi-Fi management just one click away from your firewalls and switches, endpoint and server security, email protection, and more.
The following access points can be managed in Sophos Central:
- AP6 Series: Wi-Fi 6/6E 802.11ax (all models))
- APX Series: Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac Wave 2 (all models)
Sophos Firewall
Firewall as a Controller
If you have an environment with very basic Wi-Fi needs for a smaller number of connecting clients, Sophos Firewall can be used as a Wi-Fi controller. While this option does not offer the scalability of our cloud-managed Wi-Fi, it is popular with customers looking for a more traditional, on-premises, all-in-one solution.
The following access points can be managed in Sophos Firewall:
- APX Series: Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac Wave 2 (all indoor models)
Integrated Wi-Fi Models
All of our XGS Series desktop form-factor firewalls are available with integrated Wi-Fi. This option is suitable for smaller deployments, such as retail stores, where a single device is deployed for network security.
The following XGS Series firewalls have integrated Wi-Fi:
- XGS Series: XGS 87w, 107w, 116w, 126w, 136w
The following XGS Series firewalls additionally support the use of an optional Wi-Fi module:
- XGS Series: XGS 116w, 126w, 136w
