    There’s something SonicWALL doesn’t tell you in their product literature, and that’s that this router segregates wireless and wired traffic into two different MAC interfaces with two different subnets. This is all well and good for a handful of security reasons, but if you expect to use zeroconf/Rendezvous/Bonjour/NetBIOS to share printers amongst both wired and wireless clients, you will not be able to, as there is no way to place the LAN and WLAN on the same subnet. Multicasting will work amongst all wired stations, and it will work amongst all wireless stations, but wireless stations will never see the service advertisement packets coming from the wired stations and vice-versa. Yes, you can poke a hole in the firewall that will allow general IP traffic to flow between them, but multicasting doesn’t work that way, so it breaks.

    The VPN is also incredibly problematic, and (not surprisingly) SonicWALL doesn’t support Macs at all. The config pages served up by the OS don’t even work in Safari, and only some of them work in Firefox. Unless you have some very specific need that only a SonicWALL can fill, save yourself a lot of trouble and load an open source firmware variant into a $50 Linksys WRT54GL. You’ll get the same build quality and more features for a fraction of the cost.
