  • Configure wireless settings (Wi‑Fi 6). Create SSIDs, set encryption (WPA3 where available), enable guest networks if needed, and apply appropriate access controls and client isolation policies to balance usability and security.
  • Establish security policies and rules: define firewall policies, VPN tunneling (site-to-site or client-based), and threat protection settings. Fine-tune traffic shaping, QoS, and monitoring dashboards to align with your organization’s requirements.
  • Register the device with WatchGuard Cloud or your preferred management console. Upload or synchronize licenses for optional services and enable continuous threat monitoring, alerts, and automated updates to maintain up-to-date protection.
