Privacy modes available from the pull-down menu for the multiple SSIDs are:
WPA-PSK
,
WPA-802.1x
, or
Off-No Privacy
.
WEP
can also be selected on the additional SSIDs as
long as it is not used on the primary SSID.
WEP can only be used on one SSID, so any oth-
ers will not have WEP available.
These additional Wireless IDs are “Closed System Mode” Wireless IDs that will not be
shown by a client scan, and therefore must be manually configured at the client. In addi-
tion, wireless bridging between clients is disabled for all members of these additional net-
work IDs.

will appear in the upper right corner of your screen.

restart the Gateway.
