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.
WPA2 Personal
WPA / WPA2 Personal
WPA Personal
WPA2 Enterprise
WPA / WPA2 Enterprise
WPA Enterprise
WEP Auto
Open
Select "Open" to create a hotspot: otherwise select the best security that your devices will support (CradlePoint recommends WPA2).
Depending on which Security Mode you select, there are different setup options.
"Personal" security modes require passwords.
"Enterprise" security modes are linked to a RADIUS server and require RADIUS authentication: IP, Port, and Shared Key (Secondary IP and NAS ID optional).
"WPA2" (Personal or Enterprise) forces AES as the WPA Cipher.
