Been a Deco X20 user for almost a year now. Got almost a dozen of them installed at a home and it works buttery smooth.
So, I'm thinking of expanding the same to a site.

Here's the situtation, we've already got a Sophos XG210 firewall installed at the site.

So, is it possible to use the Omada devices in this topology and still be able to use all the Omada features.

 

Internet from ISP -> Sophos XG210 Firewall -> PoE Switch -> WAPs & OC200

 

Can I still use all the Omada features?

Err.  It depends what you mean by "all Omada features".  The controller manages the gateways/switches/WAPs.  Many of the features inside the controller are specific to those devices.  For example, if you aren't using the switches, you can't configure switch ACLs.  If you aren't using the gateway, you can't define networks, manage nay rules or have a dhcp server.

 

However, if you have an OC200 and WAPs, you should be able to use the WAP-specific features in the controller.
