Broadcast SSID
disabled
The SSID is no longer sent in the beacon frame of the access point. This means that
the SSID is not visible for other devices. Only clients that know the SSID of the access
point and that are configured with it can connect to the access point. The "Any SSID"
option must be disabled on these clients.
enabled
The SSID is sent in the Beacon frame of the access point and is visible for other
devices. This means that clients on which the "Any SSID" option is enabled can also
connect to the access point.
Note
Since no encryption is used for the SSID transfer, this function can only provide basic
protection agai
nst unauthorized access. The use of an authentication method (for
example WPA2 (RADIUS) or WPA2
-PSK if this is not possible) provides higher security.
You must also expect that end devices may have problems with access to a hidden
SSID.

WDS mode, all access points must use the same channel.
