In short
A Sophos access point today is an AP6 Series model: the 2x2 AP6 420 and 4x4 AP6 840 (Wi-Fi 6), the tri-radio AP6 420E and 840E (Wi-Fi 6E) and the outdoor IP67 AP6 420X. They run on PoE and are managed in Sophos Central. Forever Systems, a Sophos MSP Partner, can quote them with the switches to power them.

Powering an AP6
Sophos supplies AP6 access points without a power source, so each needs a PoE switch port or injector of the right standard:
- 802.3at (PoE+): the AP6 420, 420E, 840 and 420X.
- 802.3bt (PoE++): the AP6 840E, which draws 45 W and has two 2.5 GbE ports for link aggregation.
The AP6 420 can also run from Sophos's external power supply, and Sophos lists a 30 W PoE+ injector (802.3af/at) and a 60 W PoE++ injector (802.3bt) for a switch port without PoE; the configurator offers them when you add an access point. The 2.5 GbE uplinks on the 420E, 840, 840E and 420X pair with the multi-gigabit Sophos Switch CS210 and CS1010 models, or any switch on our managed PoE switches page with enough budget.
Management and the Support and Services subscription
An AP6 can be managed on its own through its local interface, which Sophos includes with the access point. To manage it in Sophos Central, Sophos requires a Support and Services subscription per access point, which also brings firmware updates, advanced RMA and Sophos's technical support. Sophos Central is Sophos's cloud management console; Sophos's October 2026 firewall brochure presents it under the new name Sophos Fusion. The configurator offers the subscription when you add an access point, and you can skip it.

Replacing Sophos APX access points
The earlier APX Series (Wi-Fi 5) is end of sale, and Sophos gives its end of life as 31 December 2027. The AP6 Series is the current range: the AP6 420 or 420E for a 2x2 APX, the AP6 840 or 840E for a higher-density site, and the AP6 420X outdoors. AP6 access points are managed in Sophos Central or locally. We can survey, quote and install the replacements, with the scope confirmed at quote.
Lifecycle and replacements
Dates are the vendor's published end-of-sale and support dates. We can quote current replacements and plan the swap.
| Part number | Product | Last order | End of support | Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APX Series | Sophos APX Series access points (Wi-Fi 5) | Not stated | 31 Dec 2027 | You might consider AP6 Series (our suggestion) |
