Multiple SSID
Access > Multi-SSID
The multiple SSID feature allows you to broadcast up to additional SSIDs (or wireless
network names). When wireless devices are searching for available wireless networks to
connect to, the SSIDs (or wireless network names) will appear as separate and different
wireless networks. Each SSID can be configured each with a different SSID (or wireless
network name), security type and additional settings for wireless devices to connect.
You can use the multiple SSID feature to setup guest wireless accounts with a different
security type to keep your primary wireless network security information private.
