The following items are displayed on this page:
◆ Network Name (SSID) — The name of the wireless network service
provided by the Wireless Broadband Router. Clients that want to
connect to the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the
Wireless Broadband Router. (Default: “SMCWBR14S-N4_AP”; Range: 1-
32 characters)
◆ Broadcast Network Name (SSID) — By default, the Wireless
Broadband Router always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal.
Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network because
wireless clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to
connect. (Default: Enabled)
◆ AP Isolation — The Wireless Broadband Router will isolate
communincation between all clients in order to protect them. Normally
for users who are at hotspots. (Default: Disabled)
◆ BSSID — The identifier (MAC address) of the Wireless Broadband
Router in the Basic Service Set (BSS) network.
◆ Security Mode — The wireless network authentication and encryption
method. For a complete description, see “WLAN Security” on page 69.
