Description
Hide Access
Point
Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by wireless
active scans. If the access point is hidden, it will not be listed or listed with empty
SSID in the scan result of wireless stations. To connect a client to a hidden access
point, the station must add the access point manually to its wireless
configuration.
Clients
Isolation
When enabled, it prevents client PCs from seeing one another in My Network
Places or Network Neighborhood. Also, prevents one wireless client
communicating with another wireless client.
Disable WMM
Advertise
Stops the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM) functionality,
which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP,
Video).
Enable
Wireless

Forwarding
Select the checkbox to enable this function.
Enable WiFi
Button
Select the checkbox to enable the WiFi button.
SSID
[1-32
characters]
Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All
stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the
SSID does not match, that user will not be granted access.
BSSID
The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service
Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC
(Media Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point); and in Independent BSS
or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.
Country
Local regulations limit channel range: US/Canada = 1-11.
Max Clients
The maximum number of clients that can access the router.
Wireless -
Guest /
Virtual Access
Points
This router supports multiple SSIDs called Guest SSIDs or Virtual Access Points.
To enable one or more Guest SSIDs select the checkboxes in the Enabled
column. To hide a Guest SSID select its checkbox in the Hidden column.
Do the same for Isolate Clients and Disable WMM Advertise. For a
description of these two functions, see the previous entries for “Clients Isolation”
and “Disable WMM Advertise”. Similarly, for Enable WMF, Max Clients and
BSSID, consult the matching entries in this table.
NOTE: Remote wireless hosts cannot scan Guest SSIDs.
