SSID. This is the default setting.

Protected Management Frames (PMF), according to the 802.11w standard, is a
security feature that protects unicast and multicast management frames from being
intercepted and changed for malicious purposes. The type of authentication that
you select determines if this feature is mandatory, optional, disabled. You can also
set it manually.
• Mandatory: This option requires devices to use PMF. Devices that do not support
PMF cannot connect to the WiFi network. If you select Enhanced Open
authentication, WPA3 Personal authentication, or WPA3 Enterprise authentication,
the radio button for PMF is set to Mandatory, and you cannot change it.
• Optional: This option lets the access point automatically activate PMF based on
whether devices can support PMF. If you select WPA3/WPA2 Personal
authentication, the radio button for PMF is set to Optional, but you can change
it.
• Disable: This option disables PMF. If you select Open, WPA2 Personal,
WPA2/WPA Personal, or WPA2 Enterprise authentication, the radio button for
PMF is set to Disabled, but you can change it (except for Open authentication).
