Wi-Fi
The group key is shared by all in clients of the access point, and after a client has
disconnected, it will be able to use the group key to decrypt broadcast packets until the key is
changed.
Allowed values are any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and take the format
number{d|h|m|s}.
For example, to set Group rekey interval to ten minutes, enter 10m or 600s.
Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issues in noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to 0. This will allow any client that has previously connected to see
all broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.

Configure a bridge
The access point must be assigned to an active LAN, or a bridge that is assigned to an active
LAN.
