SSID Name
The SSID is the unique name shared among
all devices in a wireless network. It is case-sensitive, must
not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, and may be any
keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same
for all devices in your wireless network. The default SSID
name is
linksys-g
.
SSID Broadcast
This option allows the SSID to be
broadcast on your network. You may want to enable
this function while configuring your network, but make
sure that you disable it when you are finished. With
this enabled, someone could easily obtain the SSID
information with site survey software or Windows XP and
gain unauthorized access to your network. Click Enabled
to broadcast the SSID to all wireless devices in range.
Click Disabled to increase network security and prevent
the SSID from being seen on networked PCs. The default
is
Enabled
in order to help users configure their network
before use.

Select SSID
Select any of the SSID names configured on
the
Basic Wireless Settings
tab.
Wireless Isolation (between SSID)
Wireless Isolation
prevents eavesdropping in the network. When it is
Enabled, wireless frames received on this Access Point will
not be forwarded to other wireless networks (SSIDs). For
example, if you have a wireless hotspot, you may want to
keep the wireless network (SSID) isolated from your other
wireless networks (SSIDs). This is a global option applying
to all SSIDs. The default is
Enabled
.
The following options are specific for each SSID:
Security Mode
Select the wireless security mode you
want to use: WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Personal
Mixed, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise
Mixed, RADIUS, or WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected
Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP
encryption and forward compatible with IEEE 802.11i. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, Enterprise modes use
a RADIUS server for authentication, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) Refer to
the appropriate instructions below after you select the
Authentication Type and SSID Interoperability settings.
For detailed instructions on configuring wireless security
for the Access Point, refer to “Appendix B: Wireless Security
Checklist”. To disable wireless security completely, select
Disabled
. The default is
Disabled
.
Wireless Isolation (within SSID)
When disabled, wireless
PCs that are associated to the same network name (SSID),
can see and transfer files between each other. By enabling
this feature, Wireless PCs will not be able to see each other.
This feature is very useful when setting up a wireless
hotspot location. The default is
Disabled
.
Following section describes the detailed options for each
Security Mode.
WPA-Personal (aka WPA-PSK)
Wireless > Wireless Security > WPA-Personal

WPA offers you two encryption methods, TKIP
and AES for data encryption. Select the type of algorithm
you want to use, TKIP or AES. The default is
TKIP
.
