Follow these steps to rename the SSID or modify its configuration:
1 Select the checkbox for the SSID and click Modify to open the SSID Details table, which also
provides access to service profiles for the SSID.
2 Enter the new SSID name.
3 Click Apply. If an SSID is renamed, all configuration details related to the old SSID name,
such as service profile associations and security configuration, are automatically transferred,
and the radios that operate in AP mode now broadcast the new SSID in the beacon.
The default SSID cannot be modified. If an attempt is made to modify the default SSID, the system
prompts you to first rename it. If you select the current SSID in the table and click Delete, the SSID
reverts to the default.
The Airgo AP can be configured to support multiple SSIDs. If this feature is enabled on the
Multiple SSID tab (“Multiple SSIDs” on page 90), then it is possible to add new SSIDs from the
SSID Table tab, in addition to modifying or deleting an existing SSID.
Perform the following functions on the SSID Table tab:
Function Description

SSID is enabled)

Backhaul Configuration, Link Criteria tab (see Configuring a
Wireless Backhaul).
• Max Number of Stations — Enter a maximum number of client
stations, if desired. The range of values is 1-256 for each AP radio.

configurations.
