Hide SSID:
The SSID specifies the name of your wireless network. You
can see this name when logging onto the WiFi, allowing
you to identify the correct subnet.
If the Hide SSID option is disabled, your network name is
visible. If this option is disabled, potential network users
must know the exact SSID and enter it manually to be able
to set up a connection.
Some WiFi stations have difficulty connecting to hid-
den wireless networks. If the connection to a hidden
SSID poses problems, first try to set up the connecti-
on with a visible SSID and only then try to hide it.

keys consisting of letters and numbers and the depicted
special characters with a length of up to 63 characters.

4.4.3 Guest network

If you have friends or acquaintances visiting and you want
to provide them with Internet access but without giving
away the password for your WiFi, you can set up a separate
guest account in addition to the main Internet connection.
The guest account can have its own network name, time li-
mit and WiFi password. This way your visitors can browse
the Internet without having access to your local network.
