Click to add up to 8 wireless networks per radio. SSID Name: Wireless VLAN ID: SSID Broadcast: Security Mode: Portal: SSID Isolation: Enter up to 32 characters as the SSID name. Set a VLAN ID for the wireless network. Wireless networks with the same VLAN ID are grouped to a VLAN. Enable this function, AP will broadcast its SSID to hosts in the surrounding environment, as thus hosts can find the wireless network identified by this SSID. If SSID Broadcast is not enabled, hosts must enter the AP's SSID manually to connect to this AP. Select the security mode of the wireless network. For the security of wireless network, you are suggested to encrypt your wireless network. This device provides three security modes: WPA-Enterprise, WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). WPA-PSK is recommended. Settings vary in different security modes as the details are in the following introduction. Select None and the hosts can access the wireless network without password. Portal provides authentication service for the clients who want to access the wireless local area network. For more information, refer to 5.2 Portal. After Portal is enabled, the configurations in 5.2 Portal will be applied. After enabling SSID Isolation, the devices connected in the same SSID cannot communicate with each other. Modify: Click Click to open the page to edit the parameters of SSID. to delete the SSID. Following is the detailed introduction of security mode: WEP, WPA-Enterprise and WPA-PSK.  WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, is less safe than WPA-Enterprise or WPA-PSK. NOTE: WEP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If WEP is applied in 802.11n mode, the clients may not be able to access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (in the 2.4GHz frequency band) or 11a/n (in the 5GHz frequency band), the device may work at a low transmission rate. 11

Wireless
VLAN ID:
Set a VLAN ID for the wireless network.
Wireless networks with the same VLAN ID are grouped to a VLAN.
SSID
Broadcast:
Enable this function, AP will broadcast its SSID to hosts in the surrounding
environment, as thus hosts can find the wireless network identified by this
SSID. If SSID Broadcast is not enabled, hosts must enter the AP’s SSID
manually to connect to this AP.
Security
Mode:
Select the security mode of the wireless network. For the security of
wireless network, you are suggested to encrypt your wireless network. This
device provides three security modes:
WPA-Enterprise

Portal:
Portal provides authentication service for the clients who want to access
the wireless local area network. For more information, refer to
5.2 Portal
.
After Portal is enabled, the configurations in
5.2 Portal
will be applied.
SSID
Isolation:
After enabling SSID Isolation, the devices connected in the same SSID
cannot communicate with each other.
Modify:
Click
to open the page to edit the parameters of SSID.
Click
to delete the SSID.
Following is the detailed introduction of security mode:
WEP
,
WPA-Enterprise
and
WPA-PSK
.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, is less safe than
WPA-Enterprise or WPA-PSK.
NOTE:
WEP
is not supported in 802.11n mode. If WEP is applied in 802.11n mode, the clients may
not be able to access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (in the
2.4GHz frequency band) or 11a/n (in the 5GHz frequency band), the device may work at a
