When

disabled, the SSID will not be visible as an available

Wi-Fi network to clients – clients must manually enter the

SSID in order to connect.

A hidden (disabled) SSID is typically more secure than a visible

(enabled) SSID.

Wireless Client

Isolation

Enable or disable wireless client isolation.

Wireless client isolation prevents clients connected to the

access point from communicating with each other and improves

security. Typically, this function is useful for corporate

environments or public hot spots and can prevent brute force

attacks on clients’ usernames and passwords.

Load Balancing

Load balancing limits the number of wireless clients connected

to an SSID. Set a load balancing value (maximum 50).

Authentication

Method

Select an authentication method from the drop down menu and

refer to the information below appropriate for your method.

Additional

Authentication

Select an additional authentication method from the drop down

menu.

No Authentication

Authentication is disabled and no password/key is required to connect to the access point.

Disabling wireless authentication is NOT recommended. When disabled, anybody within
range can connect to your device’s SSID.

WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a basic encryption type. For a higher level of security consider using WPA

encryption.
