Advanced wireless settings

Setup > Wireless Settings
The advanced wireless features can provide you with additional options for setting up
your wireless network such as multiple SSID, activate/deactivate wireless according to
schedule, and operation modes such as WDS (Wireless Distribution System) bridging or
wireless bridging.

Multiple SSID

Setup > Wireless Settings
The multiple SSID feature allows you to broadcast up to two additional SSIDs (or
wireless network names). To wireless devices searching for available wireless networks
to connect to, the SSIDs (or wireless network names) will appear as separate and
different wireless networks. Since they appear as separate wireless networks, they are
also referred to as virtual APs (Access Points). Each virtual AP can be configured each
with a different SSID (or wireless network name), security type and additional settings
for wireless devices to connect. You can use the multiple SSID feature to setup guest
wireless accounts with a different security type to keep your primary wireless network
security information private. In addition, the SSIDs can be mapped to a specified VLAN
ID. See the VLAN section for instructions on assigning VLAN IDs to the SSIDs.
