Access Points

The Wireless Protection > Access Points pages provide an overview of the access points (AP) known to the system. You can edit AP attributes, delete or group APs and assign wireless networks to APs or AP groups.

Technical information:

  • With BasicGuard subscription, you can connect a single access point to Sophos UTM.
  • Due to the bandwidth on APs with ac standard, there may be an automatic channel change in some cases. For example, although you defined channel 36, an AP could choose channel 40 because that channel provides a better connection. The displayed channel on the Overview tab always represents the primary channel. This behavior applies to all AP 100 appliances (AP 100, AP 100C, and AP 100X) and all SG appliances with integrated access (SG 105w/115w and SG 125w/135w).
  • The country setting of an AP regulates the available channels to be compliant with local law.
