Using Multiple SSIDs on the NBG6716
You can configure more than one SSID on a NBG6716. See
Section 11.4 on page 95
.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the NBG6716 as if there
were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless security type and MAC
filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the NBG6716 represents a different access point/wireless
network to wireless clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients
using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the NBG6716 (such as
a printer).
