hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country
requirements. The Wireless Guest Network function adds extra networking security when connecting to remote hosts.
OPTION DESCRIPTION
Enable Wireless A checkbox that enables (default) or disables the wireless LAN interface. When
selected, the Web UI displays Hide Access point, SSID, BSSID and Country
settings.
Hide Access Point Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by wireless
active scans. To check AP status in Windows XP, open Network Connections
from the start Menu and select View Available Network Connections. If the
access point is hidden, it will not be listed there. To connect a client to a hidden
access point, the station must add the access point manually to its wireless
configuration.
SSID [1-32 characters] Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All
stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the
SSID does not match, that user will not be granted access.
BSSID The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service
Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC
(Media Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point) and in Independent
BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.
Country A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific national settings.
Wireless Guest The Guest SSID (Virtual Access Point) can be enabled by selecting the Enable
Wireless Guest
Network checkbox Rename the Wireless Guest Network as you wish.
NOTE: wireless hosts cannot scan Guest SSIDs.
