Select which SSID to configure security settings for.
Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When enabled, the SSID will
be visible to clients as an available Wi-Fi network. When
disabled, the SSID will not be visible as an available Wi-Fi
network to clients – clients must manually enter the SSID in
order to connect. A hidden (disabled) SSID is typically more
secure than a visible (enabled) SSID.
Wireless Client
Isolation
Enable or disable wireless client isolation. Wireless client
isolation prevents clients connected to the AP from
communicating with each other and improves security.
Typically, this function is useful for corporate environments or
public hot spots and can prevent brute force attacks on clients’
usernames and passwords.
Load balancing limits the number of wireless clients connected
to an SSID. Set a load balancing value (maximum 100).
Select an authentication method from the drop down menu.
WDS:
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can bridge/repeat APs together in an
extended network. WDS settings can be configured as shown below.
When using WDS, configure the IP address of each AP to be in the
same subnet and ensure there is only one active DHCP server
among connected APs, preferably on the WAN side.
WDS must be configured on each AP, using correct MAC addresses. All APs
should use the same wireless channel and encryption method.
