    Hello TheBalmasque,

    I think it corresponds to what I wrote, I think the autumn of this year is H2 2019, or am I wrong? I think we all have an experience with the published (predicted) terms that Sophos publishes. In my opinion autumn this year a very optimistic term. If I remember well, the v17.5 MR1 that should allow APX access points was scheduled for mid-December last year. And now is the end of January and support for APX in XG still is not available, right? It is planned for next week, but maybe could be delayed for a week ...

    At the latest in two months we will know who was right. The first milestone is planned at the end of March, so we will see ....

    Regards

    MR-1 was not supposed to be released, it was an in-house fix, we were to get MR-2 with APX. I have no idea what has gone wrong?

    mentioned MR1 to be released in december as far as I can remember.

    But MR1 seems to have an issue with HA so I have to wait for MR3 where it is supposed to be fixed. So nothing has changed at all - one fix, one new issue.

    The issue with HA is only affecting Sophos XG Management through Sophos Central.
    This issue is also present in Sophos XG 17.5 GA.

    The problem is, that with this issue a Sophos XG 17.5 GA or 17.5 MR-1 can't be managed through Sophos Central.
    It isn't affecting anything else in HA Setup.

    Also Sophos XG 17.5 MR-3 is scheduled for 10th Feburary 2019.
    So you might want to wait for that. :)

    Hi Ian,

    My apologies regarding this delay.

    Our team has recently published this KBA to provide more information regarding APX and Sophos XG Firewall compatibility.

    • Note: The functionality for APX wireless access point on XG is available from XG Firewall (SFOS) version 17.5 MR3.

    Hope that helps! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly if you had any further questions or concerns.

    Regards,

    Hi Flo,

    I hope you had a good weekend off all fired and ready to join the fray again?

    MR-3 has it been released?

    Unless one runs APX access point, that particular update is next to useless.

    I would not certainly not rush to get APX wireless with Sophos XG either.

    I like the sense of excitement, I might find a hidden jewel. LOL

    At the pace things goes, I will most probably get "exited".  I have a year left on subscription and as usual, in 6 month I will take a decision.  V18 won't be there.  I am not enthusiast at moving things on another platform, considering moving into XG was the most painful in my life, but what I see here just don't work.

    When they engaged into wrapping many open source products and integrate them into an interface package called XG, the idea was nothing short of excitements.  "All-in-One" dream like we say.

    However, the implementation that was once first and unique is being was doubled by other actors in the industry.  Seriously.  Much like the story featuring actors like a turtles and rabbits.

    Don't get me wrong, APX is a welcome addition, but I welcomed that addition in written here more than a year ago.

    XG is trailing behind just too much.  The level of knowledge required to make XG work properly is such that one might wrap all those package himself.  XG being just a GUI in fact.  

    It is only my opinion however.  Everybody else is welcome to be more optimist.
