the correct SSID. The AP drops all packets with VLAN IDs that are not associated to the SSID.
Traffic Shaping: Traffic Shaping regulates the allowed maximum downloading/uploading throughput per
SSID. Select to enable or disable Wireless Traffic Shaping for the SSID.
Download Limit: Specifies the allowed maximum throughput for downloading.
Upload Limit: Specifies the allowed maximum throughput for uploading.
Fast Roaming: This feature uses protocols defined in 802.11r to allow continuous connectivity for
wireless devices in motion, with fast and secure roaming from one AP to another. Coupled with 802.11k,
wireless devices are able to quickly identify nearby APs that are available for roaming and once the signal
strength of the current AP weakens and your device needs to roam to a new AP, it will already know
which AP is the best to connect with. Note that not every wireless client supports 802.11k and 802.11r.
Both the SSID and security options must be the same for this fast roaming to work. Fast Roaming is
available when the following security methods are well configured:
WPA2-Enterprise
WPA-Mixed Enterprise
WPA2-PSK
WPA-Mixed
Security: Select encryption method (WEP, WEP / WPA2 Enterprise, WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK, or none) and
encryption algorithm (AES or TKIP).
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption protocol for 802.11 wireless networks
which scrambles all data packets transmitted between the Access Point and
the wireless clients associated with it. Both the Access Point and the wireless client must use the
same WEP key for data encryption and decryption.
