Customizing Metro WLAN or Home WLAN Settings
Figure 39—Configure :: Wireless :: Home WLAN settings
3. Make the following entries:
• Wireless Availability: This option controls whether the wireless network is Enabled or Disabled.
If the wireless network is Disabled, it is not available to users.
• Broadcast SSID: (Home WLAN only) This option controls whether or not the SSID is visible
to anyone looking for wireless networks. Disabling (hiding) the SSID requires that the user be told
the correct SSID name before they can connect to your network.
• SSID: This is the SSID that you use to connect to the Mesh network or your home wireless
network.
• Preferred BSSID: The MAC Address of the AP the Metro Broadband Gateway device should
connect to. To set this feature, see "Setting the Preferred BSSID" on page 48.
• Preferred BSSID Mode: This sets the Preferred/Locked mode for the preferred BSSID.
• Under Preferred mode, the Metro Broadband Gateway will attempt to associate to the Preferred
BSSID first; if it is not available, the Gateway attempts to connect to the next available BSSID.
• Under Locked mode, the Metro Broadband Gateway will only associate to the Preferred BSSID;
if the preferred BSSID is down, the Gateway will not attempt to connect to the next best network.
• Threshold Settings: This button opens a workspace where you can configure the Protection
Mode you activated in the Wireless :: Common workspace. If Protection Mode is not active,
ignore this option. For more information, see "Setting Threshold Options" on page 45.
• Encryption Method: By default, all data exchanges in your wireless network are not encrypted,
but you can pick an encryption method in this option, and use the extra workspace features that
appear to fine-tune the encryption. For more information, see either "Customizing WEP
Encryption" on page 49 or "Customizing WPA Encryption" on page 50.
4. When you are finished, click Update Settings to save and apply the changes. A confirmation message
appears at the top of this workspace.
5. Click Go back to Wireless Configuration to reopen the previous workspace.
