LocalWifi0 not seen in Access Points

FW-User 01

Hi all,

I am a new user and I have installed Sophos XG Home 17.0.6 MR-6. For the WiFi I want to use a WPEA-111N internal WiFi card. Before I have installed Sophos XG I inserted the WiFi card. The installations seems to be ok because under Protect - Wireless - Wireless Client List I can see 2 SSIDs called "Sophos" and "GuestAccess". When I change the view to "show by AP" in the upper right corner I can also see one AP called "LocalWifi0". But when I go to Protect - Wireless - Access Points I don't see an active/inactive and no pending access point. Has anybody an idea?

Thanks in advance

    Hi All,

    have exactly the same problem, booting my rack firewwall system with live ubuntu 16.04 the installed wifi pci-e card is shown and working, booting with sophos xg you can see localwifi0 (only with Shown by AP option), but no record shown, no pending access point, no access point in overview (fresh install of sophos xg).

    in addition sophos xg seems to store configuration in the systems nvram, so if you try to reinstall even with a clean new harddisk as i did, sophos has somewhere stored and recognizes licence id etc .. so i want to ask if there is an option to reinstall sophos xg ignoring the previously (bios nvram saved?) configuration or force sophos xg to scan hardware for devices again. The installed pci-e wifi-card was recognized and working with a sophos xg test installation with another firewall barebone i tried before.

    TIA GermanGuy
