How to edit Radio and Wifi Settings on SonicPoint N2

Hi,

i have receive an SonicWall SonicPoint N2,

i have plugged it on my poe switch, i dont have the poe injector who come with the package. i just have the access point device only

i have access to the firmware and i dont see any way to enable the 2.4 and 5 ghz radio, if im go to the status page i see the 2 radio is disabled right now.

is there a way to edit that and enable the radio and change wifi settings

SonicPoints are managed access points.
You need a SonicWall firewall to manage it.

i dont think i firewall is needed for let my sonicpoint n2 works well, because my old sonicpoint NDR works well now and without firewall

J Spoor

old NDR was supported in stand alone mode.
SonicPoitn ACi/ACe and N2 as well as SonicWaves are no longer supported in standalone mode unfortunately.

Yes a Sonicwall is a requirement. NDRs didn't have the requirement, but the newer APs do.

In case you want to see documentation mentioning this requirement, see page 10: https://www.sonicwall.com/SonicWall.com/files/55/556109eb-120e-456c-8c53-bae96b809c8d.pdf
