Sonicwall tz210 - 2 different wireless networks?
A client was sold a TZ210 by a CDW rep. They were told they could have wifi for the employees and a separate wifi for guests.
Could someone explain how? I tried looking through the manual & docs but they refer to vans & other options I'm not seeing in the setup.
The end goal:
1. WiFi that employees can use with full access to the network, servers, etc.
2. a Guest wifi that has it's own network with no access to internal network. Only access to internet.

I found that article. It only seems to set top wireless for guests & thus eliminates wifi for employees & their access tot eh lan.
hmmm, i thought it was in addition to. sorry.
You can set Virtual Access Points if you are on the latest firmware. See the link below for a setup guide. Each SSID can have different firewall access rules and security profiles.

Notice VAP - Corporate and VAP - Guest SSIDs in the example.

@amatson78 :: This can be used on the internal wireless as well as sonicpoints?

OK, looks like that may be the issue, I'm on 5.5. I'll have to update to the latest.

@amatson78 :: Ah, I just don't implement the "big stuff" on those little units. I really only work with the Pro/NSA units any more. Good to know.
@digitap, Yea it used to be a sonicpoint only feature that was ported and works quite well.

That was the issue. After updating to 5.8, I was able to get it going.
Still a bit frustrating trying to use Sonicwalls guide. It was actually much simpler to sue the wifi wizard.
1. Set up wifi (not bridged)
2. Choose vlan in wifi wizard & configure
3. After it's all set up, I had 2 wifi networks, neither on lan.
4. Went and changed default wifi to bridged.
In the end, I had 2 separate WAP's. One on the internal 192 address & one on it's own 172 network.

Glad to hear. :)
