hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country
requirements. The Wireless Guest Network function adds extra networking security when connecting to remote hosts.

the Web UI displays Hide Access point, SSID, BSSID and Country settings.
