preowned AP325 usable?

in WiFi - Firebox Managed

Since my AP120's aren't working well with FW12.11.4 (stuck on discovered) and I'm not convinced jumping to the WiFi Cloud with the newer line of AP's is right for us,yet.

If I find a used AP325 would I be able to make it work ok on our current FB?

We currently have several AP325's running through our GWC but will a used one be able to work.

M370 WSM-2025.1.2, FWos-12.10.4 (trying to get to 12.11.4)

    AP325 units are End of Life on 31 Dec 2026, so you should be able to get a support license for one.

    The V12.11.4 Release Notes include this:
    WatchGuard AP Firmware AP125, AP225W, AP325, AP327X, AP420: 11.0.0-36-4
    so the AP325 units should be supported via the GWC.

    It depends on the AP325 itself and what license it was purchased with.
    -If it was cloud-managed, it won't have a WIFI-BASIC license and wouldn't be locally manageable.
    -If it was locally managed, the licensing may not be perpetual beyond the EOL date.

    See:

    Our current line of APs and any future APs will be cloud-managed. If you're looking for a locally managed device, I suggest consulting with your local partner to see if they can help you find other locally managed WiFi options that meet your needs.
