If Captive Portal Type = Permanent User or Temporary User, select the Login Profile. Any of the available profiles can be used for this SSID. You can hide the SSID broadcast to discourage stations from automatically discovering your access point(s). When the broadcast SSID of the AP is hidden, the SSID name is not displayed in the list of available SSID on a client station. Instead, the client must have the exact SSID name configured in the supplicant before it is able to connect. Disabling the broadcast SSID is sufficient to prevent clients from accidentally connecting to your network, but it will not prevent even the simplest of attempts by a hacker to connect or monitor unencrypted traffic.
