Multiple SSIDs Settings

Parameter

Description

SSID Index

This router can support multiple SSIDs. By default, this

function is disabled. You can only set a set of SSID.

SSID

The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the

unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the

unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. The

default SSID of the router is “default”.

Broadcast SSID

Select “Yes” to make the SSID to be visible so wireless

clients can scan the router within the network. Select

“No” if you want to hide the SSID of the router. Wireless

clients have to set the same SSID of the router in order

to access the network.

Authentication Type

To prevent unauthorized wireless clients from accessing

the router, this router supports WEP, WPA-PSK and

WPA2-PSK authentication type. If the router has enabled

the authentication, all the wireless clients’ settings have

to be consistent with the router for building the

connection.

z

WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Parameter

Description

WEP-64Bits

WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports

64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless

data. The longer key length will provide higher security.

When “WEP-64Bits” is selected, you have to enter

exactly 5 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10

hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
