Indoor Wi-Fi 6/6E tri-radio access point

The Sophos AP6 420E is a plenum-rated indoor access point supporting Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. It delivers 2x2:2 MIMO with SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO for general-purpose, medium-density environments such as retail, education and small offices. Management is available through Sophos Central cloud platform or a local web interface. Power is supplied exclusively via 802.3at PoE+ on the single 2.5G Ethernet port.

Verify PoE+ switch or injector availability

The unit ships without a power adapter or PoE injector, so a compliant 802.3at PoE+ source must be present at the installation point. Cloud-managed features, firmware updates and advanced support require an active Sophos Central support subscription per access point. Confirm that your network infrastructure can provide the 24.25 W maximum power draw and that ceiling, wall or desktop mounting suits the 183 x 35 x 183 mm form factor.

Sustained operation within 24.25 W envelope

Under continuous load the AP6 420E operates within its 24.25 W PoE+ budget across all three radios, delivering up to 575 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 2100 Mbps on 5 GHz and 2400 Mbps on 6 GHz. The UL2043 plenum rating and medical equipment certification EN 60601-1-2 allow deployment in air-handling spaces and healthcare settings without additional enclosures. DFS support ensures dynamic frequency selection during extended use.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a PoE+ injector separately?

The package contains the access point only; no power adapter or PoE+ injector is included. A suitable 802.3at PoE+ injector or switch must be purchased separately to power the unit.

Which radio configuration should I choose for a mixed environment with 6 GHz clients?

This model provides three single-band radios — 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz — each with 2x2 MIMO, so it supports Wi-Fi 6E clients on the 6 GHz band while still serving legacy devices on the other two bands.

What does the 5375 Mbps headline rate mean for real-world throughput on the 2.5 GbE port?

The 5375 Mbps figure is the aggregate theoretical maximum across all three radios (575 + 2100 + 2400 Mbps). Actual client throughput will be lower and is limited by the single 2.5 GbE uplink.
