5.1 Setup

This screen allows you to configure basic features of the wireless LAN interface. You can enable or disable the wireless LAN interface, hide the
network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country requirements.
The Wireless Guest Network function adds extra networking security when connecting to remote hosts.
