wifi network unable to access internet

Mp400

Hi, 

I have a wireless network that I can connect to but unable to access the internet.

The xg has internet access and I can ping addresses on the internet from the xg.

I've created a wireless network called Wifi-A and added it to the Wifi zone (ssid is also named Wifi-A).

Created a new dhcp server inside the xg and attached it to the Wifi-A wireless network.

Added firewall:  allow wifi zone anyhost  to WAN zone anyhost.

The laptop used to connect does receive an IP address and the correct default gateway from the Wifi-A ssid.

    Device is XG 106W - device connects to the built in wireless interface.

    You mean the AP is the inbuilt one on the XG106W?

    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    What error message are you getting when you browse from a WiFi machine?

    If you're using XG as a DNS server for Wifi-A network then please ensure that DNS service is turned on for WiFi zone(Administrator > Device access).

    Also please verify that default SNAT is applied on the linked NAT rule.

    Hi Yash,

    The translated source snat had to be changed to MASQ before it would work.

    Do you have a link that explains SNAT in detail?
