Using Multiple Ssids On The Wap6405; Configuring Security Settings Of Multiple Ssids - ZyXEL Communications WAP6405 User Manual

8.5 Using Multiple SSIDs on the WAP6405

You can configure more than one SSID on a WAP6405 when it is operating in access point or
universal repeater mode. This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on
the WAP6405 as if there were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless
security type and MAC filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the WAP6405 represents a different
access point/wireless network to wireless clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients
using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the WAP6405 (such as
a printer), but they cannot listen to each other's traffic.
For example, you may set up three wireless networks (A, B and C) in your office. A is for workers,
B is for guests and C is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room.

8.5.1 Configuring Security Settings of Multiple SSIDs

The WAP6405 is in access point mode by default. If you want to use multiple SSIDs when the
WAP6405 is in universal repeater mode, see
universal repeater mode.

WAP6405 (in access point mode).
