How to get Wireless AP working on Sophos XG Virtual Firewall

I have recently installed Sophos XG Virtual Firewall at the house. I am trying to have all of the devices go through XG and would like my setup to be the following:

Cable Modem in bridge Mode -> Sophos XG Firewall -> Wireless Access Point/Switch (DHCP)

I have an ESXi 6.0 setup for me host machine with 2 NICs:

WAN: cable modem to WAN NIC on ESX Host

LAN: second NIC is connected to my Wireless Router/switch

I have the XGFW configured and it is picking up 192x IP from my LAN/Wireless AP/Router and from my 70x IP for my WAN. I am was able to ping 8.8.8.8 from the Console screen and was able to activate the license and was able to download and install the updated firmware for Sophos XGFW which means that XG has internet connection.

However, I cannot get to internet on the Access Point that XG's LAN is connected to. Ideally I should be able to add additional routers or Wireless APs that LAN and everything should be behind the FW. I am assuming I need to enable a policy of some sort? Sorry this is my first time working with any firewall. Any direction you can provide would be very helpful. Thank you for your help in advance.

  • Tried that but that did not work. On the Sophos itself, I am able to test connection against domains such as www.google.com and www.yahoo.com, etc. and results come back as ok. I am attaching the diagram of my setup if that helps. Thanks for your help
