Option Description
Wireless Availability This option controls whether or not the wireless network
is available to users (Off or On).
Broadcast SSID This option controls whether or not the WLAN SSID is
visible to anyone looking for wireless networks. Disabling
(hiding) the SSID requires the user must be told the correct
SSID before they can connect to your network.
Client Isolation This option enhances wireless security on the network by
preventing wireless clients from communicating with each
other. If you are operating a hotspot, for example, you
could enable wireless isolation to prevent wireless clients
from communicating with each other (for example, one
wireless client accessing a shared folder on another
wireless client).
SSID This is the publicly-broadcast “name” of your wireless
network. The default SSIDs are:
• V54-HOME001 for Wireless 1
• V54-HOME002 for Wireless 2
Ruckus Wireless recommends modifying these default
SSIDs to SSIDs that indicate your location or group name.
SSIDs can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters and
are case-sensitive.
Threshold Settings This button opens a page where you can configure the
Protection Mode you activated on the Wireless :: Common
page. If Protection Mode is disabled, ignore this option.
Encryption Method By default, all data exchanges on 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 settings.

Using WEP” on page 47
or “Using WPA” on page 49.
