Description
Select one of the following options:
•
Yes. Select this radio button to enable the wireless security profile. This
is the default setting.
•
No. Select this radio button to disable the wireless security profile.
The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. The SSID
separates network traffic from different wireless networks. To connect any
wireless device to a wireless network, you need to use the SSID. The
wireless access point default SSIDs are: NETGEAR_0 for the first profile,
NETGEAR_1 for the second profile, NETGEAR_2 for the third profile, and
so on. You can enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. For more
information about SSIDs, see
Note: The SSID of any wireless adapters must match the SSID of the
wireless access point. If they do not match, a wireless connection to the
wireless access point cannot be established.
Select the Broadcast SSID checkbox to enable broadcast of the SSID. If
you disable broadcast of the SSID, only stations that know the SSID can
connect to the wireless access point. Disabling the SSID broadcast
somewhat hampers the wireless network discovery feature of some
products. Broadcast of the SSID is enabled by default.
Specify the default VLAN ID that is associated with the wireless security
profile and that will be tagged on all egress packets. The default VLAN can
be active only when the wireless access point functions as a bridge (for
more information, see "Configuring Basic System Settings" on page
Note: The default VLAN ID can be specified in an authentication reply from
the RADIUS server. However, if a per-user VLAN ID is specified in the
authentication reply from the RADIUS server, the value that is specified in
default VLAN ID will be overridden.
