Wireless

Configure and manage access points, wireless networks, and connected devices.

Go to Wireless to configure and manage Sophos Wireless.

Network requirements

Access points must be able to communicate with Sophos Central. You must ensure your network meets the following requirements:

  • You must have DHCP and DNS servers to provide an IP address to the access point and answer its DNS requests (IPv4 only).
  • Access points can reach Sophos Central without requiring a VLAN to be configured on the access point for this connection.
  • Communication on ports 443, 123, and 80 to any internet server is possible.
  • There's no HTTPS proxy on the communication path.

Warning

Don’t disconnect your access point from the power outlet when the lights blink rapidly. This means that a firmware flash is in progress. For example, a firmware flash after a scheduled firmware update.
