8 Select Enable Radio.
9 Select a Mode or use the default.
10 Under Wireless Security, select the Authentication
Type for your wireless network. Dell SonicWALL
recommends using WPA2 as the authentication type if
all client devices support it.
11 Select the Cipher Type. When using WPA and WPA2,
Dell SonicWALL recommends AES for maximum
security.
12 Fill in the fields specific to the authentication type
that you selected. The remaining fields change
depending on the selected authentication type.
13 Optionally, under ACL Enforcement, select Enable
MAC Filter List to enforce Access Control by allowing
or denying traffic from specific devices. Select a MAC
address object group from the Allow List or Deny List
to automatically allow or deny traffic to and from all
devices with MAC addresses in the group. The Deny List
is enforced before the Allow List.
Radio 0 / Radio1 Advanced tab settings
14 Click the Radio 0 Advanced tab, or the Radio 1
Advanced tab.
The configuration is very similar for the Radio 0
Advanced and Radio 1 Advanced tabs. For most
advanced options, the default settings give optimum
performance. For a full description of the fields on this
tab, see the SonicOS Administrator’s Guide.
15 Optionally select the Hide SSID in Beacon checkbox.
The SSID refers to the access point name that appears
in clients’ lists of available wireless connections.
Hiding the SSID provides additional security because it
requires the user to know the access point name before
connecting.
16 When you are finished with configuring all tabs, click
OK.
TIP:
PSK uses a personal passphrase for authentication,
EAP uses an Enterprise RADIUS server.
NOTE:
Older client devices might not support AES.
