WARNING:
When configuring the wireless access point from a wireless

lose your wireless connection when you click the Apply button. You
then must access the wireless access point from a wired computer
or from a wireless computer that is on the access control list to
make any further changes.
Enable Rogue AP Detection
Unidentified access points that use the SSID of a legitimate network can present a serious
security threat. Detecting rogue access points involves scanning the wireless environment on
all available channels, looking for unidentified access points.
When rogue AP detection is enabled, the access point will interact only with devices in the
Known AP list.
