Broadcast 
SSID 
If enabled, the Wireless ADSL Router will broadcast its SSID. 
This allows PCs and other wireless stations to detect this Ac-
cess Point and use the correct SSID. 
If disabled, PC users will have to manually enter the SSID and 
other details of the wireless interface before they can connect to 
this Access Point. 
Isolation within 
SSID 
If Enabled, devices that have the same SSID will not be able to 
see each other. 
Configure SSID • Disabled - no data encryption is used.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard. 
• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK stan-
dard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much 
better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations sup-
port WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK,
and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced 
Encryption Standard) method of encryption. 
• WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius
Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication ac-
cording to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are 
encrypted using the WPA standard.

3.9 Wireless Security
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless screen. There are 4 options for Wireless 
security: 
• Disabled - no data encryption is used. 
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard. 
• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides 
much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather 
than WEP. 
• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the AES (Ad-
vanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
