Network Name (SSID) Defines the primary network name (SSID) to which client
devices connect. It displays either the default SSID or the
user defined SSID. This example shows the settings when
the modem is in the 2.4GHz band.
-- For the 2.4GHz radio (shown above), the default SSID is
“WIFI” plus the last 6 characters of the CM MAC address
with the letters in UPPER case.
-- For the 5GHz radio, the default SSID is “WIFI” plus the
last 6 characters of the WLAN MAC address with the
letters in UPPER case, plus “-5G”.
Broadcast SSID When On is selected, the SSID is visible to wireless clients. If
Off is selected, the SSID is not visible to wireless clients
unless manually set up on the client. Broadcast SSID is On
by default to allow broadcasting of the primary network name
(SSID). Refer to Enabling a Closed Network on the Primary
Network on page 80 to set up a closed network.
NOTE: WPS must be disabled before Broadcast SSID can be
disabled.
Wireless Mode Allows you to define the 802.11 wireless networking
standard(s).
 2.4GHz band options are: Mixed (11b/g/n), and 11n only.
The default is Mixed (11b/g/n).
 5GHz band options are: Mixed (11a/n/ac), Mixed (11n/ac)
and 11ac only. The default is Mixed (11a/n/ac).
WPA Enables or disables the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
security protocol. WPA is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user
authentication and improved data encryption. Setting WPA
alone with a pre-shared key requires a RADIUS or TACACS
server for authentication. This method is mostly used in large
enterprise implementations.
WPA-PSK Enables or disables WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK). If you
do not have an external RADIUS server, use WPA-PSK,
which requires a single (identical) password entered into
wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the
passwords match, a client is granted access to the wireless
LAN.
WPA2 Enables or disables WPA2. This advanced protocol is
certified through Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2 program and
implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular,
it has an AES-based algorithm (CCMP) that is considered
fully secure. Setting WPA2 alone with a pre-shared key
requires a RADIUS or TACACS server for authentication.
This method is mostly used in large enterprise
implementations.
