Basic WLAN Setup
The “Basic WLAN Setup” panel is used to add and edit SSIDs. An SSID is a unique identifier that wireless
networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple access points on a network or
sub-network can use the same SSIDs. You can configure your device to use up to 9 SSIDs, and configure each
SSID differently. All of the SSIDs are active at the same time; that is, client devices can use any of the SSIDs
to associate with the access point.
Click on Add SSID to create more SSIDs.
