Broadcast ESSID If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located
within the coverage of this access point can discover this access
point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling
this feature is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can
provide better security.
IAPP If you enable “IAPP”, the access point will automatically broadcast
information of associated wireless stations to its neighbours. This
will help wireless station roaming smoothly between access points. If
you have more than one access points in your wireless LAN and
wireless stations have roaming requirements, enabling this feature is
recommended. Disabling “IAPP” can provide better security.
