Advanced wireless settings
Setup > Wireless Settings
The advanced wireless features can provide you with additional options for setting up
your wireless network such as multiple SSID, activate/deactivate wireless according to
schedule, and operation modes such as WDS (Wireless Distribution System) bridging or
wireless bridging.
Multiple SSID
Setup > Wireless Settings
The multiple SSID feature allows you to broadcast up to two additional SSIDs (or
wireless network names). To wireless devices searching for available wireless networks
to connect to, the SSIDs (or wireless network names) will appear as separate and
different wireless networks. Since they appear as separate wireless networks, they are
also referred to as virtual APs (Access Points). Each virtual AP can be configured each
with a different SSID (or wireless network name), security type and additional settings
for wireless devices to connect. You can use the multiple SSID feature to setup guest
wireless accounts with a different security type to keep your primary wireless network
security information private. In addition, the SSIDs can be mapped to a specified VLAN
ID. See the VLAN section for instructions on assigning VLAN IDs to the SSIDs.

on
page

2. Click on Setup, and click on Wireless Settings.

4. Check the Enable option the selected SSID.
5. Enter the Network ID (SSID) (or wireless network name) to assign to the secondary
SSID.
Note: If enabling the secondary SSID AP2, it is strongly recommended to assign an SSID
that is different from the primary SSID AP1, so it can easily identifiable when searching
for wireless networks.
6. Select Enable to allow wireless devices to search and discover the SSID (or wireless
network name) of the selected SSID. Disable turns off the ability for wireless devices to
find your SSID (or wireless network name) of the selected virtual AP when scanning for
available wireless networks. It is still possible for wireless client devices to be manually
configured to connect to the selected SSID even if the SSID broadcast is disabled.
7. Configure the wireless security for the selected SSID. See "Securing your wireless
network" for details on configuring wireless security.
8. To save changes, click Apply.
Note: If you would like to discard the changes, click Undo before you click Apply.
