Compatibility & Software Support
Management
Per H3C's specification table, the AP runs in Fit AP mode, managed by an H3C wireless controller (AC) — H3C names the built-in AC of the WSG1800X series gateway, the MSR610 router and the F100-C series firewall — or in Cloud AP mode, managed through the H3C Cloudnet platform. In Cloud AP mode it also supports web management over HTTP/HTTPS, Syslog and NETCONF; SSH v2.0 / Telnet / FTP / TFTP remote debugging and local CLI are supported.
Security & Authentication
WPA2-Personal / Enterprise, WPA3-Personal / Enterprise and WPA3-Enhanced Open (OWE); 802.1X, MAC and Portal authentication (local or remote), PSK and Private-PSK; social-media login (Google/Facebook/Twitter) through Cloudnet in Cloud AP mode; WIPS rogue-device protection and management frame protection.
Roaming & Wi-Fi Features
802.11k/v smart roaming and 802.11r fast transition, band steering, load balancing, SSID/VLAN-based local forwarding, mesh (including multi-hop), multicast-to-unicast enhancement, WMM/QoS and per-client bandwidth management, IPv4/IPv6.

How many users can it handle?
H3C recommends 100 clients and quotes a maximum of 256; actual numbers depend on the environment.
WA6020 or WA6120?
Both are 2x2 + 2x2 ceiling/wall APs with the same housing. H3C rates the WA6020 at 1500 Mbps and the WA6120 at 2.975 Gbps combined.
What warranty do I get?
5 years local warranty in Singapore, supplied by SourceIT with a GST invoice.
