5.3.1.2. Multiple SSID’S Settings
SSID Index, SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another.
For security propose, change the default name to a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in to the
router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients
have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network.
Broadcast SSID: Select Yes to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
Select No to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
Authentication Type: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the
network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP.&WPA. If you require high security for
transmissions, there are two alternatives to select from: 64-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP. WEP 128 will offer
increased security over WEP 64.
You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network. The default type of wireless is
disabled and to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the access points without any data encryption
5.3.1.3. Wireless MAC Address Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access to up to 32 devices (Allow
Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the router (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device has
a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six
pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the
devices to configure this screen. To change your router’s MAC filter settings, click Wireless LAN, MAC Filter to
open the MAC Filter screen. The screen appears as shown.

configure all four keys, but key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.
5.3.1.5 WPA-PSK
Encryption: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates
Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.
