Configuring Wireless Security

This section describes how to configure the security mode for the SSID. All
devices on this network must use the same security mode and settings to work
correctly. Cisco recommends using the highest level of security that is supported
by the devices in your network.
If the security mode is set as WEP or as WPA with TKIP encryption algorithm for the
SSID that supports 802. 1 1n, the transmit rate for its associated client stations will
not exceed 54 Mbps.
Click Wireless > Basic Settings.
In the SSIDs area, click the Edit (pencil) icon to edit the settings for the SSID.
The SSID - Edit window opens.
In the Security Mode tab, specify the following information:
• SSID Name: The name of the SSID on which the security settings are
applied.
• User Limit: Specify the maximum number of users that can simultaneously
connect to this SSID. Enter a value in the range 0 to 200. The value of zero (0)
indicates that there is no limit for this SSID.
NOTE: The maximum number of users that can simultaneously connect to all
enabled SSIDs is 200.
• Security Mode: Choose the type of security.
