To edit your wireless
network, select its name
and click Edit.
WiFi Name (SSID):
When users browse
for available wireless
networks, this is the
name that they will see.
This name is referred to
as the SSID (service set
identifier). For security purposes, Cradlepoint highly recommends that you change this from the pre-configured
name.
Hidden: This shows whether the router broadcasts its SSID. It is somewhat harder for hackers to find and
attack a router that is not broadcasting its SSID, which adds to the wireless security, but it is also more
difficult for friendly users to attach to a WiFi network with a hidden SSID.
Isolate: Select this to isolate all wireless clients so they cannot directly communicate with each other on the
wireless network.
WMM: WiFi Multimedia. This is a basic traffic shaping, or QoS (quality of service), system for the network.
WMM works behind the scenes to set priorities for different types of traffic on your network. For example,
video streams are given higher priority than print jobs, since video streams need consistent throughput.
Enabled: Whether the network is available.
Security Mode: You have several options for selecting a security mode. The mode you choose depends on the
security features your wireless adapters support.
