For instance: you turn it on, light spills out in all directions, and the whole room is evenly lit. Beamforming is more like a flashlight (or a torch for our UK friends). That is to say, it allows more direct and focused paths for connectivity. When a device attempts to connect to your wireless AP, onboard engines determine which channel, and device will provide the highest quality connection at the time.<\/p><p>To sum up, key benefits of beamforming include:<\/p><ul><li>More stable, reliable connectivity<\/li><li>Faster data transfers &amp; fewer errors<\/li><li>Reduced interference<\/li><li>Better \u201csignal-to-noise\u201d ratio<\/li><\/ul><p>In addition, bandsteering is a game changer for Wi-Fi. Bandsteering is the process of using dual-band Wi-Fi, allowing APs to choose which Gigahertz band will provide the highest performance.<\/p><ul><li>2.4 GHz \u2013 Slower data transfer, more interference, but larger coverage area &amp; penetration<\/li><li>5 GHz \u2013 Higher speeds, more reliable connections, &amp; less congestion<\/li><\/ul><p>Sometimes the higher capacity 5 GHz band is the faster option. However, in some cases the 2.4 GHz can be the best bet if 5 GHz is congested or a little out of reach. With bandsteering, you do not have to decide. SonicWaves automatically connect to the most efficient band. In other words, the AP does the thinking for you.<\/p><h3><strong>Go Controller-Free with SonicWave<\/strong><\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/sonicwall\/sonicwave.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SonicWall SonicWave APs<\/a> feature easy deployment and management options that lower costs. There is no need to purchase a separate wireless controller because your wireless network can be managed through the firewall. Single pane of glass management means less clicking around in multiple tabs and windows to find what you\u2019re looking for. You also have the option of SonicWall&#8217;s WiFi Cloud Manager, which offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonicguard.com\/WiFi-Cloud-Manager.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several bonus features of its own<\/a>.<\/p><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16582 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality.jpg\" alt=\"Blog Banner General Buy Now Red-High-Quality\" width=\"900\" height=\"150\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality-768x128.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/150;\" \/><\/a><\/h3><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3><strong>Network Security Integration<\/strong><\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/sonicwall.html\">SonicWall<\/a> comes backed by multiple decades in the greater network security world. While Ubiquiti excels in their own little fishbowl, SonicWall is a shark that has prowled every corner of the cybercrime seven seas. Above all, SonicWave access points integrate into a larger, centrally managed network with real-time communication and unified threat protection operating across several security layers.<\/p><p>Because SonicWall sports a pedigree in security, SonicWave APs are built with security foremost in mind. That means SonicWaves benefit from:<\/p><ul><li>Automatic firmware updates<\/li><li>Security alerts &amp; rich analytics<\/li><li>SSL\/TLS decryption &amp; inspection<\/li><li>Wireless intrusion detection &amp; prevention<\/li><\/ul><h3>Dedicated Security Radio<\/h3><p>SonicWave 400 series access points include three radios.
