Wireless management
This is a feature worth talking about a little. The SonicWALL TZ600 supports the SonicPoint 802.11ac access points for seamless wireless network provisioning and management.

All access points are placed in a dedicated WLAN zone, which allows you to swiftly apply policies such as web filtering, IPS and gateway antivirus. Moreover, provisioning guest access is pain-free. That’s because the WLAN zone has options for client isolation and redirecting users to an external website for authentication. This wireless management is on as standard, allowing the TZ600 to handle up to eight SonicPoint APs. The TZ600 even offers optional 802.3at PoE+ to power PoE-enabled devices.
Set up
Installation takes maybe five minutes. The the web console’s quick-start wizard set up the first LAN port, as well as the WAN port for internet access. And it applied a base security policy to the default zone. This feature makes the TZ600 very versatile. You could place selected ports in different zones and quickly apply a single security policy to all members.
And once it’s configured, the SonicWALL TZ600 keeps itself updated with the latest threat signatures. This means that small to medium-sized businesses can have a single device protecting their networks, without having to worry about updating software on every client. If the wireless 802.11ac radio is activated, then that protection can also extend to anyone using the wireless network.
