When the Wireless client isolation setting is set to ‘This AP Only’, wireless
clients of this AP cannot see each other, and wireless-to-wireless traffic is
blocked. When the setting is set to ‘All APs in This Subnet’, traffic among
wireless users of different APs in the same IP subnet is blocked. This feature
is useful for WLANs deployed in public places. In this way, hackers have no
chance to attack other wireless users in a hotspot.
When the Wireless client isolation setting is set to ‘This AP Only’, wireless

traffic between the STAs is blocked. When the setting is set to ‘All APs in This
Subnet’, traffic among wireless users of different APs in the same IP subnet is
blocked. The behaviors are illustrated in the following figures.
