Station Setting

The Station Settings define how SonicOS establishes and manages the uplink (backhaul) connection. These settings ensure that the device successfully connects to the upstream Access Point and integrates the station link into the firewall’s network.

To configure the station settings

1. Navigate to DEVICE | Internal Wireless > Settings.
2. In the Radio Role field, select Access Point & Station from the drop-down menu.
3. Scroll down to the STATION SETTING section.
4. Toggle Enable Station Mode to enable it.
5. Enter the AP SSID in the field provided. This is the access point name that users will see when connecting.

6. Select the AP Authentication Type from the drop-down menu. Choose from:

   • OPEN
   • WPA2-AUTO-PSK
   • WPA3-PSK
7. If a WPA authentication type is selected, type in a Pre-Shared Key.
8. Select a VLAN ID from the drop-down menu. To appear in the list, the VLAN ID must already have been created. The VLAN allows the internal wireless radio to identify which traffic belongs to this subnet. You can create VLAN interfaces in the NETWORK | System > Interfaces page by clicking Add Interface at the top of the Interface Settings screen.
9. Toggle Use Wireless Interface as WAN to enable access outside your local network. This option changes the wireless interface to a WAN zone interface that can provide WAN access.
10. Click Accept to save the settings.
