•
Wireless network name (SSID)
•
Channel restrictions (based on country)
•
Security
•

Station information
This screen allows you to configure basic features of the wireless LAN interface. You can enable or disable the wireless LAN interface, hide
the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as the SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country
requirements. The Wireless Guest Network function adds extra networking security when connecting to remote hosts.
Option
Description
Enable WiFi
A checkbox that enables or disables the wireless LAN interface. The default is Enable WiFi.
Enable SSID Broadcast
Deselect Enable SSID Broadcast to protect the access point from detection by wireless
network scans.
To check AP status in Windows XP, open Network Connections from the Start Menu and
select View Available Network Connections. If the access point is hidden, it will not be listed
there. To connect a client to a hidden access point, the station must add the access point
manually to its wireless configuration.
Clients Isolation
1. Prevents clients PC from seeing one another in My Network Places or Network
Neighborhood.
2. Prevents one wireless client communicating with another wireless client.
SSID
[1-32 characters]
Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be
configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user
will not be granted access. The naming conventions are: Minimum number of characters:
1, maximum number of characters: 32.
BSSID
The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an
area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Medium Access Control) address
of the AP (Access Point) and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated
randomly.
Country
A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific national settings. Each county listed
in the menu enforces specific regulations limiting channel range.
Wireless Guest Network
This router supports multiple SSIDs called Guest SSIDs or Virtual Access Points. To enable one
or more Guest SSIDs select the radio buttons under the Enable heading. To hide a Guest SSID,
select its radio button under the Hidden heading.
Do the same for Isolate Client. For a description of this function, see the entry for “Client
Isolation” in this table. Similarly, for Max Clients and BSSID headings, consult the matching
entries in this table. NOTE: Remote wireless hosts are unable to scan Guest SSIDs.
