## Symptoms

- * Wireless adapter does not disable when the ethernet cable is detected
* Firewall blade configuration "Allow wireless connections when connected to the LAN" is not selected.
* The policies in the database show: "detectedNetworks disableWirelessOnLAN="false""
* WEB Management is used to work with on-premises Endpoint Server

## Cause

If a user selects and, or unselects the checkbox for **Allow Wireless connections when connected on the LAN** it changes the action objects itself, instead of assigning another action object to the particular rule in the CPMI database (*fw_allow_wireless_on_lan and fw_no_wireless_on_lan* ). As the DB internals were changed, it led to the issue with blocking and, or not blocking WIFI on the machines with Endpoint Clients.  

In this scenario, a user tried to change the DB with *GuiDBEdit* before the fix was applied. Therefore, because this was changed by the user, it caused the fix not to take effect. The fix only works on a "clean", unmodified server.
