BR‐6478AC's "2.4GHz (B+G+N)" means that
802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless
clients can connect to the BR‐6478AC.
This is the name of your Wi‐Fi network for
identification, also sometimes referred to as
"SSID". The ESSID can consist of any
combination of up to 32 alphanumerical
characters.
Enable or disable ESSID broadcast. When
enabled, the ESSID will be visible to clients as
an available Wi‐Fi network. When disabled,
the ESSID will not be visible as an available
Wi‐Fi network to clients – clients must
manually enter the ESSID in order to connect.
A hidden (disabled) ESSID is typically more
secure than a visible (enabled) SSID.
Check the box to enable wireless clients
isolation. This prevents wireless clients
connected to the BR‐6478AC from
communicating with each other and improves
security. Typically, this function is useful for
corporate environments or public hot spots
and can prevent brute force attacks on
clients' usernames and passwords.
Select a wireless radio channel or use the
default "Auto" setting from the drop‐down
menu.
Click "Select Site Survey" to display a new

showing information about wireless clients.
