multicast traffic at a low basic rate, whereas unicast traffic can be transmitted at
HT, VHT, or HE rates.
Max Clients — The maximum number of clients that can associate to this SSID
at the same time. (Default: 127; Range: 1-256)
Idle Timeout (sec) — The AP disconnects a client when there is no activity for
the configured amount of time. (Default: 300 seconds; Range: 60-60000
seconds)

The following items are displayed in this section of the Wireless Settings page:
Method — Sets the wireless security method for each VAP, including
association mode, encryption, and authentication. (Default: WPA2-PSK)
The OAP101-6E 6GHz radio supports only WPA3 Personal, WPA3 Enterprise,
WPA3 Enterprise 192-bit, and OWE. (Default: WPA3 Personal)
No Security — The VAP broadcasts a beacon signal including the
configured SSID. Wireless clients with an SSID setting of “any” can read the
SSID from the beacon and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate
connection.
WPA-PSK — For enterprise deployment, WPA requires a RADIUS
authentication server to be configured on the wired network. However, for
sm
all office networks that may not have the resources to configure and
maintain a RADIUS server, WPA provides a simple operating mode that
uses just a pre-shared password for network access. The Pre-Shared Key
mode uses a common password for user authentication that is manually
entered on the access point and all wireless clients. The PSK mode uses the
same TKIP packet encryption and key man
agement as WPA in the
e
nterprise, providing a robust and manageable alternative for small
networks.
Encryption — Data encryption uses one of the following methods:
