Introduction
UTM Wireless Protection simplifies the operation of secure and reliable wireless
networks. It combines affordable and configuration-less access points through a built-
in wireless controller in the in Sophos UTM. The wireless controller itself centrally
manages all wireless access points; all you need to do is plug in the device anywhere
in your network. The access point will find the controller, fetch its configuration and
become operable within seconds. In addition, it easily provides wireless guest Internet
access during the initial setup, unless you explicitly deny automatic configuration.
