switch
• An active Internet connection
• A configured interface on the Dell SonicWALL
security appliance set to a zone type of “wireless”
• A location selected for placement of your

, for information about optimal placement of
your SonicPoint.
• Clients capable of 802.11ac wireless
communications. Note that although clients with
802.11 n/a/g/b hardware are supported, the
presence of these legacy clients within range of
your network could affect the connection speed of
your 802.11ac clients.
