I guess I found your obsolete instructions and went from there.
I also already added that ridiculous internal to internal rule.
Will try to get rid of the Damerius WLAN NIC now.

Thanks,

Frank

Hallo nochmal Frank, 😉

When "Bridge to AP LAN" is selected, There's no need to create a bridge.

In fact, I don't understand how the "Demerius WLAN" NIC used in the bridge could exist. Normally a virtual wireless NIC is only created when the Wireless Network is defined as "Separate Zone."

When the original SG 1##w devices came out, there was a problem when choosing "Bridge to AP LAN" with the builtin AP. I developed the workaround which was to define the Wireless Network as a Separate Zone and then to bridge the resulting wlan# with eth0 for the Internal interface definition.

By the way, if you're bridging eth0 and eth3, you will need a firewall rule like 'Internal (Network) -> Any -> Internal (Network) : Allow'.

Hallo Guys,

I have this working at many client sites.

I'm confused about your description of your configuration. Please post pictures of the Edits of the 'Wireless Network' definition with 'Advanced' open and of the Internal interface definition.

Cheers - Bob
PS You can ask that a Support case be escalated. In Germany, that will probably go to support in UK.

no - same expirience,

-couln`d understood the indian support

-have deactivated the internal WLAN from my SG115w to use Sophos AP10 succesfull, no combination possible :-(

-with the internal only > also not possible to use Guest and workers WLAN in two SSID, with external AP it works fine.

(maybe it is by design, because the sg115w is for smal office solutions)
