Rogue Access Point Scan Results

You can see the results of a wireless rogue access detection point scan in the Rogue Access Point Detection settings. These settings display a list of untrusted wireless access points found by the most recent rogue access point detection scan. This list does not include access points that match the trusted access points defined in your wireless rogue access point detection configuration.

The Rogue Access Point Detection feature for Firebox wireless devices is different than the Rogue Access Point Detection feature designed for WatchGuard AP devices managed by the Gateway Wireless Controller. For more information on Rogue Access Point Detection on the Gateway Wireless Controller, go to Enable Rogue Access Point Detection with the Gateway Wireless Controller.

For information on the differences between Firebox wireless devices and WatchGuard AP devices, go to WatchGuard Wireless Solutions.
