Discovered Access Points

The Discovered Access Points table appears when the SonicWALL appliance is in Wireless Client Bridge mode.

To create a wireless bridge with another access point:

1. Before you begin, verify that your wireless security settings match that of the access point to which you are bridging, and that you have switched your SonicWALL TZ wireless appliance to Wireless Client Bridge mode in the Wireless > Settings page.

2. In the Wireless > Status screen, locate the access point you wish to bridge to and click the Edit icon in the Connect column.

Note The configuration is set and your SSID changes to mirror that of the wireless bridge host.

Note For security reasons, never create a bridge over an open wireless connection.
