How do you connect 3rd party wireless router and have it function as AP

jang430
I have UTM 9.3, and I am using TP-link wireless router. How do I configure the wireless router to act as AP only? As of the moment, I did all steps below, but haven't got internet. Steps I've done: Assign router to 192.168.5.2 IP address, DHCP server enabled (so it assigns IP) and set wireless security Assign eth2 (named it wifi) as ethernet port 192.168.5.1 Plugged WAN port of AP to eth2 of Sophos UTM ASG110 Create Firewall Rule: wifi (Network) Service: Websurfing Destination: Any - to allow surfing Created new masquerading Rule wifi (Network) to External (Wan) I did all these steps, with no internet.

    Hello All,

    I finally put it on a different subnet. I followed the steps below:

    1. decide if you want the wireless network to be part of your LAN, or a new network/DMZ.
    If a new network, setup a new interface (or use a VLAN) on the UTM.
    Setup the UTM's DHCP & DNS server for the network, and configure Masquerading, firewall rules, desired proxies, etc.


    I was just wondering how come my experience is not that great by putting it on the same subnet? Speed is way different. No more reloadings. Any idea why this is the case? I'm also wondering if using XG will have the same problem?

    If they work on different subnets, sound like you have a your interfaces confused. Both APs should work on the same subnet providing they are connected to the same interface on the UTM.

    You will have the same issue if you use XG, it is not UTM/XG issue but a user configuration issue. You shouldn't be using the WAN port on your APs but a LAN port if they are on the internal network.
