SonicWall SonicWave 681
Indoor Wi-Fi 6 AP with eight streams at 5 GHz, four at 2.4 GHz and a 5 GbE uplink for higher-density projects.

Overview
Wi-Fi 6 for higher-density indoor environments. Final selection must consider the environment, configuration, licensing and the controls to be enabled.
Key features
- WPA3, WPA2 and AESWPA3, WPA2 and AES
- Up to 8 virtual access points / SSID groups per APUp to 8 virtual access points / SSID groups per AP
- Dedicated security radio and centralised managementDedicated security radio and centralised management
- Design conditionCapacity and coverage depend on the RF environment, clients and design
- Design conditionValidate the management licence and firmware compatibility; not compatible with UTM Gen 6 management
- Design conditionThe specified PoE supply requires an 802.3bt type 3 power source; SWS PoE+ 802.3at switches must not be assumed sufficient
- Design conditionRegional availability, SKU, accessories and licences must be confirmed in the proposal
