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 82).
(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
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)

Figure 44: Wireless Security Settings
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)
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
