generated from this wireless network (i.e., packets that travel from the Wi-Fi
segment through the Pepwave AP One unit to the Ethernet segment via the LAN
port). The default value of this setting is 0, which means VLAN tagging is
disabled (instead of tagged with zero).
Broadcast SSID

wireless network. Broadcast SSID is enabled by default.

network’s traffic.
Layer 2 Isolation
A
Layer 2 refers to the second layer in the ISO Open System Interconnect model.
When this option is enabled, clients on the same VLAN, SSID, or subnet are
isolated to that VLAN, SSID, or subnet, which can enhance security. Traffic is
passed to upper communication layer(s). By default, the setting is disabled.

Band steering allows the Peplink Balance to steer AP clients from the 2.4 GHz
band to the 5GHz band for better usage of bandwidth. To make steering
