Select which SSID to configure security settings
for.
Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When
enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients as an
available Wi‐Fi network. When disabled, the
SSID will not be visible as an available Wi‐Fi
network to clients – clients must manually
enter the SSID in order to connect. A hidden
(disabled) SSID is typically more secure than a
visible (enabled) SSID.
Enable or disable wireless client isolation.
Wireless client isolation prevents clients
connected to the access point from
communicating with each other and improves
security. Typically, this function is useful for
corporate environments or public hot spots
and can prevent brute force attacks on clients'
usernames and passwords.
Load balancing limits the number of wireless
clients connected to an SSID. Set a load
balancing value (maximum 50).
