  3. I'm looking at possibly rolling out a Sophos UTM for a customer, but I can't seem to find any reviews on them (especially the AP50). I know Ubiquiti is coming out with their new line here shortly and always hear good things about them, but not having phone support when needed is a downer, plus the Sophos AP's integrate right into the UTM, but do require a yearly license.

All the AP50 are version 1 hardware, but got the two with problems after those 3 online APs. Called Sophos, but when I was on the phone with support, I used external AC adapter instead of POE injector. Redo the procedure 1-4 and worked!! So I closed the ticket as I thought the problem is the firmware for POE.

Please assist and advise any customer who has RED 50 devices deployed to ensure that they install this update immediately.

The following information will be sent to all RED 50 customers in the coming days:

An issue on RED 50 Remote Ethernet Devices has led to an increased failure rate, with some units no longer able to boot or becoming inoperable. All RED 50 devices are at risk for this failure.

A new firmware version resolving this issue is now available for you to install.

We strongly advise all RED 50 customers to apply this update as soon as possible.

If you are a Sophos SG UTM customer:

  • Install the UTM 9.7 Maintenance Release 2 (9.702), which includes the RED firmware update. This update will require a reboot.

Although we would always recommend that you run the latest software version, if you are not able to upgrade to UTM 9.7 at this time, please reach out to Sophos Support for assistance in applying the new RED firmware on your existing software version.

Update from March 9, 2020: UTM 9.606 has now been released which also includes the updated firmware.

If you are a Sophos XG Firewall customer:

  • The RED firmware pattern update 2.0.019 contains the remedy and is available for you to install. Applying this update will not require a reboot of your firewall but all connected RED devices will be rebooted.
