Chapter 3 Wireless Settings SSID Guest Enable or disable this option, which activates the Gateway's ability to host a guest SSID, by clicking in the appropriate radio button. Setting up a guest SSID allows the user to provide a separate network on the Gateway that can access the Internet, but does not allow access to devices (printers, other computers, etc.) connected to the Gateway's main network. Guest SSID networks are usually created to allow temporary access to the Internet to one-time users. SSID Broadcast Click in the Enable radio button to activate SSID broadcasting, which allows any computer searching for available wireless networks to detect this network (however, if this network is protected with some form of wireless security, they will not be able to join the network unless they know the security password). Clicking in the Disable radio button turns off SSID broadcasting. SSID Name If applicable, enter the name of the Gateway's wireless network in this text box. Security There are four choices available in this drop-down list: WPA/WPA2 This form of wireless security is the default setting on the Gateway. When selected, you can select the WPA Type (WPA orWPA2-Personal, WPA Personal, or WPA2-Personal), Encryption Type (AES, TKP, or Both), and whether to use the Gateway's automatically generated default key/passphrase, or create one of your own, then click Apply to save your changes. 17
