Use these settings to enable wireless protection, to set notification time-out, and to configure a RADIUS server for enterprise authentication.

I needed better wifi coverage in my rooms so I picked this up on eBay new for $30 shipped. Sophos access points are lightweight and they are controlled from.

Global settings
Enable wireless protection
Scan all traffic on the specified zones for threats and malware.
Allowed zone
Network zones that permit access point connectivity. You can deploy access points on the specified zones.
Advanced settings
Timeout
The time, in minutes, between when an access point goes offline and when the firewall sends a time-out notification. After the specified time, the access point will be considered inactive.
RADIUS server
RADIUS server to use for enterprise authentication. Access points communicate with the firewall, not the RADIUS server, for authentication. Port 414 is used for RADIUS communication between the firewall and access points. Access points send accounting information on port 417 to the firewall. The firewall then forwards the information on the configured accounting port 1813 to the RADIUS server. Interim accounting updates are not supported. Accounting Request or Accounting Response contains accounting-related information. It is separate from access request, response, or challenge.
Sophos Ap100c
You must set up the wireless network with 802.1x authentication.
You must enable accounting for your RADIUS server. RADIUS accounting is supported on AP15, AP15C, AP55, AP55C, AP100, AP100C, AP100X, and Wi-Fi enabled devices.
You must add a network address translation policy for the access point networks when the RADIUS server is connected to the firewall through an IPsec tunnel. This replaces the source address with the IP address of the firewall that is used to reach the RADIUS server.
Note RADIUS SSO is not supported in wireless enterprise authentication.

Secondary RADIUS server
A backup RADIUS server for enterprise authentication when the firewall can’t access the primary RADIUS server.
Note Sophos APX series, AP10, AP30, AP50, and Wi-Fi enabled devices can access only the primary RADIUS server.
This is an amazing product and at a great price point!!
The packaging is minimal and well designed.
The mounting brackets consist of two flat metal bars (the feet of the AP Are magnetic - screw them in and the AP just sticks to it - unlike our old Cisco brackets that resulted in tears every time.
Sophos Ap10
The installation is flawless. Plug in the AP's and they start talking to the UTM Automatically. Just setup your networks (Guest is auto created on a separate network & DHCP Scope).
I honestly spent more time un-boxing the AP's than I did configuring them and putting them up - and they are the first Sophos AP's I have configured.
