I am using tz 105 Sonic wall. It's my new device. When I started the device I found 192.168.168.168 default IP address of X0 lan interface & the DHCP is already configured while I found IP address 172.16.31.1 IP address on W0. Interface while dchp is already configured for this. I configured wireless radio with SSID & connected my laptop through wireless & Got 172.16.31.233 IP & I connected the same laptop through cable to X0 & I got 192.168.168.65. IP address now my Question is that From my laptop I disconnected the X0 lan cable while me connected to sonic through the wireless network 172.16.33.1 but I am unable to ping 192.168.168.168. I need help please what should I do?

    Hi @alijan125 , being unable to ping 192.168.168.168 is expected because you're trying to ping the IP of the X0 interface while being connected to W0 which is the Virtual Interface for Wireless.

    If you connect to W0 and you want to ping the firewall, you can ping the W0 IP Address which in the case you described it's 172.16.31.1. If you properly set it up, you can then access the firewall management through 172.16.31.1.

    If you connect to X0, then you will be able to reach the firewall through the X0 IP Address (in your case 192.168.168.168).

    Hope this helps.
