Sonicwall Tz 215 Wireless-N Appliance
Cons:WiFi support for device and it's extension (Sonicpoint) has a fatal flaw
Pros:Powerful tools, support, design and features |
Everything about sonicwall and it's business oriented design is great. You have all the advanced firewall, A/V, intrusion, VPN, support features you would need in a small/medium business environment. Standard firmware and backup profiles across nearly all their appliances means if you can work with one unit, you can work with another in any situation.However with the current firmware there is a fatal flaw. This is the WiFi unit - and is able to broadcast more than one SSID (say, SSID for local access to network and a guest network that is only Internet traffic). If you want to add in a SonicPoint to this device, it supports that. However, you can't replicate the two SSID's from the device itself. You must create two new ones.There is a way around this, and that is to get a 215 + 2 SonicPoints instead.I have a request in with SonicWall / Dell to be able to replicate the devices SSID's to the sonicpoints in the future. When that is added, I will say it's a 5/5 product.
