Oh, ok. I have not done much in the way of config so I will give that a go and report back.

I did upgrade the firmware which added the ability to brdige the two together in the wizard, this option had not been avalailable on the older firmware. &nbsp;Now everything is on the same subnet and working great. &nbsp;Thanks

So, By default out of the box the Sonicwall TZ 100 comes with separation between WLAN and LAN. &nbsp;I have figured out easily enough how to open it up so I can route back and forth between the subnets that are set by default (LAN 192.168.168.x and WLAN172.16.31.x )<br />
<br />
I would like to merge the two so I have a single subnet of 172.16.31.0/24 so there is no routing needed between WLAN and LAN and one common gateway.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions how this is done is appreciated. &nbsp;I was about to simply eliminate one of the subnets and just scope the DHCP for WLAN to issue IP's in a different part of the subnet, but I have a feeling it is more complex than that. &nbsp;<br />

Thanks

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
