Access points

Sophos access points, built-in Wi-Fi devices, and Wi-Fi RED appliances allow users to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

You can also use the Wi-Fi expansion module with some Sophos Firewall and SD-RED models.

Note

Sophos Firewall uses port 2712 to manage access points.

The access points get the configuration from the firewall through AES-encrypted communication.

Use the following settings to manage the Sophos access points:

  • To allow an access point to connect to your network, select an access point and click Accept.
  • To delete an access point after it has been removed from your network, select an access point and click Delete.
  • To restart an access point, select an access point and click Restart.
