Wireless Security
Select SSID. Select any of the SSID names configured on the Basic Wireless Settings tab.
Wireless Isolation (between SSID). Wireless Isolation prevents eavesdropping in the network. When it is
Enabled, wireless frames received on this Access Point will not be forwarded to other wireless networks (SSIDs).
For example, if you have a wireless hotspot, you may want to keep the wireless network (SSID) isolated from your
other wireless networks (SSIDs). This is a global option applying to all SSIDs. The default is Enabled.
The following options are specific for each SSID:
Security Mode. Select the wireless security mode you want to use, WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal,

Figure 6-4: Wireless - Wireless Security (Disabled)

WPA2-Personal Mixed, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-Mixed, or RADIUS. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi
Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption and forward compatible with IEEE
802.11i. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, Enterprise modes use a RADIUS server for authentication, while
RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) Refer to the appropriate instructions below after
you select the Authentication Type and SSID Interoperability settings. For detailed instructions on configuring
wireless security for the Access Point, refer to "Appendix B: Wireless Security." To disable wireless security
completely, select Disabled. The default is Disabled.
Wireless Isolation (within SSID). When disabled, wireless PCs that are associated to the same network name
(SSID), can see and transfer files between each other. By enabling this feature, Wireless PCs will not be able to
see each other. This feature is very useful when setting up a wireless hotspot location. The default is Disabled.
Following section describes the detailed options for each Security Mode.
WEP
This security mode is defined in the original IEEE 802.11. This mode is not recommended now due to its weak
security protection. Users are urged to migrate to WPA or WPA2.
Authentication Type. Choose the 802.11 authentication type as either Open System or Shared Key. The default
is Open System.
