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   

    Its a fiber connection that has to go into the provided Comcast internet gateway first. Then I can forward all traffic to the Sophos firewall for the resources that are behind the firewall. Anything connecting directly to the gateway will be in front of the firewall. I.E. the wireless traffic connecting to the comcast gateway. So far I have not found a way to fix this part. 

    It sounds like I may just have to purchase a 3rd party Access Point.

    Again, thanks for all responses.
