Manage the Basic WiFi Features for
a WiFi network
The access point can support eight WiFi networks, each with its own unique WiFi settings,
including WiFi security. This chapter describes how you can manage the basic WiFi
features for a WiFi network.
For information about the advanced WiFi features for a WiFi network, see Manage the
Advanced WiFi Features for a WiFi network on page 183.
Note: In this manual, WiFi network means the same as SSID (service set identifier or
WiFi network name) or VAP (virtual access point). That is, when we refer to a WiFi network
we mean an individual SSID or VAP.
The chapter includes the following sections:
• Set up an open or secure WiFi network
• View or change the settings of a WiFi network
• Remove a WiFi network
• Hide or broadcast the SSID for a WiFi network
• Change the VLAN ID for a WiFi network
• Change the authentication and encryption for a WiFi network
• Enable or disable PMF for a WiFi network
• Disable or enable a WiFi network or set up a WiFi activity schedule
• Enable or disable band steering with 802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network
management
Note: If you want to change the settings of a WiFi network on the access point, use a
wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
