Comcast Gateway Modem with Built In Wireless Model CBR2_t

Hello World.

I have a question that I already believe I know the answer to but I figured I'd ask anyway.

I have Comcast Gateway that has its own wireless built in of course. I want to firewall the wireless connectivity behind my Sophos firewall. Is this possible or will I need to purchase another wireless access point to put that wireless traffic behind my firewall. 

I've tested a bunch of configurations but of course since the wireless is part of the Comcast gateway. It's using the Comcast Gateway Egress. 

Thanks for all responses.

  • Hello

    I think his "Gateway" is in front of the firewall.So he seems to be looking to route this to the firewall and then gain control over the traffic from the wireless.

    : Usually those boxes do a bridging with the wireless to the local LAN interface and the defined network at that interface. If the Comcast-Box is able to switch from bridging to routing and has the ability to define a second network for the integrated wireless access point, then you have a chance to achieve what you want. Then you need to route this traffc to the interface of the firewall.
