can connect to your network.
SSID This is the publicly-broadcast “name” of your wireless network.
SSIDs can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters and are
case-sensitive. The maximum SSID length can only contain
between 2 and 32 characters, including characters from ! (char
33) to ~ (char 126).

Packet Forward
Isolated: Selecting Isolated causes the traffic from this WLAN
to terminate at the Access Point.
Bridge to WAN: The default setting, Bridge to WAN forwards
packets arriving on this WLAN to the WAN (uplink) port and
eventually to their external destinations using Layer 2
forwarding.
Local Subnet NAT and Route to WAN: This setting allows
routing of wireless packets to their destinations using Layer 3
network address translation (NAT).
Bridge to L2TP Tunnel: Uses Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol to
deliver packets encapsulated with an L2TP header in UDP
datagrams.
