Wifi 6

Pedro

When are you going to bring Wifi 6 devices?

Hi @Pedro
WiFi 6 devices are currently being developed, but there is no release date set for them yet.

When they're announced, they'll go through a beta process before they're released, so if you're interested, I'd suggest joining the beta community at watchguard.centercode.com.

Almost a year later and still nothing? Most of the requests we get are for WiFi 6 AP's - which means we have to sell them Merakis instead of Watchguards.......

Hi @mgbsystems
There will be a WiFi 6 product coming soon. WathGuard is focused on having a stable supported release. Many of the vendors that released WiFi 6 APs early did so under draft standards.

Is there an ETA of wifi-6 device availablity?

Gopher

Do you have an eta on this?

Hi @rblack @Gopher
There is not currently an ETA for this. Products are currently being developed, and will be announced via sales/partner channels when they are finalized.

Next month will be two years since initial certification. Not a good look to be announcing the lack of an ETA, even with COVID.
