My experiences with Sonicwall were: #1 the PPPoE issue #2 finding out if someone forgets the password and you press the reset button (while it is powering up), you have bricked it unless you have a firmware image to load into it #3 the flashing wrench light
I figured that was 3 strikes. Oh, and did I mention the added cost licenses?

Sonicwalls are best used for target practice at the shooting range. On Sunday, October 26, 2014, Matt via Af <af@afmug.com> wrote: Has anyone worked much with Sonicwall routers? We have a corporate client with a NSA 250MW using it as master to VPN between sites. If a SM gets rebooted, PPPoE server gets rebooted(in middle of night), etc the thing will never redial the PPPoE connection. Very frustrating. Has anyone solved this? I do not have direct access to the device but I can work with there tech.
