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
Connect button.
3. 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.
