Wi-Fi Radio Guest Network
Wireless Interface. Allows you to select the wireless interface
that you want to configure. The options are Radio 1 and Radio
2.
Network Name (SSID) The name that you want to assign to the
Service Set Identifier (SSID).
MAC Address (BSSID). Similar to the SSID, the Basic Service
Set Identifier (BSSID) is the 'name' of the wireless network that
shows up under network connections.
SSID Broadcast. An SSID is the name of a wireless local area
network (WLAN). All wireless devices on a WLAN must use the
same SSID in order to communicate with each other.
The SSID on wireless clients can be set manually, by entering
the SSID into the client network settings or automatically, by
leaving the SSID unspecified or blank. A network administrator
often uses a public SSID that is set on the access point and
broadcast to all wireless devices in range. Some wireless
access points disable the automatic SSID broadcast feature to
improve network security.
By disabling the broadcasting of the SSID, or even the beacon
signal itself, you can hide the presence of your wireless network
or at least obscure the SSID itself which is critical for a device to
connect to your network.
Enable. Check this box to allow the SSID broadcast.
