Broadcast SSID Select the Broadcast SSID setting by clicking the Allow or Prohibit radio button.
By default, the access point broadcasts (allows) the Service Set Identifier (SSID) in its
beacon frames.
You can suppress (prohibit) this broadcast to discourage stations from automatically discovering
your access point. When the AP’s broadcast SSID is suppressed, the network name will not be
displayed in the List of Available Networks on a client station. Instead, the client must have the
exact network name configured in the supplicant before it will be able to connect.
Note: The Broadcast SSID you set here is specifically for this Virtual Network (One or
Two). Other networks continue to use the security modes already configured:
• Your original Internal network (configured on the Advanced, Ethernet [Wired] tab) uses
the Broadcast SSID set on Advanced, Security.
• If a Guest network is configured, the Broadcast SSID is always allowed.
Security Mode Select the Security Mode for this VLAN. Select one of the following:
• Plain-text
• Static WEP
• IEEE 802.1x
• WPA/WPA2 Personal (PSK)
• WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS)
Note: The Security mode you set here is specifically for this Virtual Network (One or
Two). Other networks continue to use the security modes already configured:
• Your original Internal network (configured on the Advanced, Ethernet [Wired] tab) uses
the Security mode set on Advanced, Security.
• If a Guest network is configured, it always using plain-text security mode.
