The following items are displayed in this section of the Wireless Settings page:
Status — Enables or disables the wireless service on this VAP.
SSID — The name of the basic service set provided by a Virtual Access Point
(VAP) interface. Clients that want to connect to the network through the access
point must set their SSID to the same as that of the access point’s VAP interface.
(Default: Edgecore5G-# (where # is 1-16) for 5 GHz, Edgecore2.4G-#
(where # is 1-16) for 2.4 GHz; Range: 1-32 characters)
Site Survey — Scans for all wireless networks that are broadcasting their SSID.
Broadcast — The SSID can be broadcast at regular intervals so that wireless
stations searching for a network
connection can discover it. This allows wireless
clients to dynamically discover and roam between WLANs. This feature also
makes it easier for hackers to break into your home network. Because SSIDs
are not encrypted, it is easy to grab one by snooping the WLAN looking for
SSID broadcast messages coming from the AP. (Default: Enabled)
Local Configurable — Enables the SSID to be user configurable when the
system is operating in MSP mode (see “System Settings” on page 8
1).
(Default: Disabled)
Client Isolation — When enabled, wireless clients can talk to the LAN, and
reach the Internet if such connection is available, but they cannot communicate
with one another. (Default: Disabled)
Multicast-to-Unicast Conversion — When enabled, the AP converts
multicast traffic to unicast traffic and sends it to each associated client. This
feature provides a network throughput enhancement, since the AP transmits
