Wireless Settings

To configure wireless settings

1. Navigate to DEVICE | Internal Wireless > Settings.
2. Select Radio Role as Wireless Station from the drop-down menu.

3. Enable Wireless Interface as WAN to use wireless interface as WAN.

   The default value is not enabled.

4. Enable WLAN Radio to provide clean wireless access to your mobile users.

   The WLAN radio is disabled by the default.

   In Wireless Station mode, after the radio is enabled, it acts as a client instead of an access point and does not provide wireless access to the client.

5. Select the following options:

   SSID	Is filled with a default value of sonicwall- plus the last four characters of BSSID; for example, sonicwall-C587. The SSID can be changed to any alphanumeric value with a maximum of 32 characters.
   Enable WDS	Enable this option to sent the packets between AP and station with 4 addresses. If this option is not enabled, the packets between AP and station are sent with 3 addresses, which is same as normal station's behavior.
   Enable Short Guard Interval	Enable this to have a higher Tx/Rx rate if supported. It applies only to 802.11ac/n mode.
   Enable Aggregation	Enables 802.11n frame aggregation, which combines multiple frames to reduce overhead and increase throughput. It applies only to 802.11ac/n mode.
   Enable Wireless Client Connectivity Check and Auto Reconnect	Periodically checks the wireless client connectivity by pinging a user-defined IP address. In case of lost connection, performs an auto-reconnection.
   Target remote IP to ping	If you enabled the connectivity check previously, enter a remote IP address to ping. Make sure the specified IP address is pingable.
