contains a third 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 radio for dedicated multi-function security and wireless
network scanning (Wi-Fi Cloud mode only).

There are two ways you can manage your AP420:

monitoring.
Basic Wi-Fi with WatchGuard Firebox Gateway Wireless Controller
Local management, configuration, security, and monitoring of APs directly from your WatchGuard
