FOR SALE: Sophos AP 55C access point running OpenWrt.

With stock firmware, the device was designed to operate under centralized management provided by Sophos Central software. As of March 31, 2023, it is out of support with the manufacturer, so it no longer works with Sophos Central. We repurposed the device by installing and configuring OpenWrt, an open-source operating system for networking equipment, so it can be managed locally, on-device.

Please note that we do not have a ceiling mount for the device; however, the device itself has mounting holes allowing to mount it on a wall.

The device is running on a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9558 system-on-a-chip. There are two radios providing wireless connectivity in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (Qualcomm Atheros QCA 9550 and 9880 respectively). The 2.4 GHz radio supports B, G, and N standards; the 5 GHz radio supports N and AC. There is a single Gigabit Ethernet port for wired backhaul. The device can be powered over Ethernet or via 12V / 1.5A barrel plug.

The device is in very good physical condition (please review the photos). A power supply unit can be included for no extra charge upon request (be sure to specify this in a note to seller when you pay; if you do not, we will assume that you do not need a power supply).
