Security Settings For The Access Point - Devolo dLAN 200 AVpro User Manual

4.6.2 Security settings for the access
point
If you want to enable this WLAN network, select Ena-
ble this access point.
The dLAN 200 AVpro Wireless N supports up to 4
SSIDs or access points (Multi SSID), i.e. up to 4
WLAN networks can be operated via the
dLAN 200 AVpro Wireless N. The SSID specifies the
name of your wireless network. You can see this name
when logging onto the WLAN and thereby identify the
correct subnet. If you enable the Hide SSID option,
your wireless network remains hidden. In this case, po-
tential network users must know the exact SSID and
enter it manually to be able to set up a connection.
Changing the SSID setting can tem-
porarily affect all existing connec-
tions.
Some WLAN clients have difficulty connect-
ing to such hidden wireless networks. If the
connection to a hidden SSID poses problems,
first try to set up the connection with a visible
SSID and only then try to hide it.
Depending upon the application scenario, security
considerations may mean that it is to be forbidden for
all devices to exchange data freely with each other. For
Network configuration 43
this purpose, the option No data forwarding be-
tween WLAN stations can be enabled, which imple-
ments a genuine "peer-to-peer isolation"; all WLAN
devices configured as client are not able to exchange
any data with each other, but only with the
dLAN 200 AVpro Wireless N.
The factory defaults have this op-
tion disabled, i.e. all WLAN devices
present in the network can freely
exchange data with each other
("peer-to-peer" mode).
Only access point 1 supports the
WPS function (see 4.6.3 Wi-Fi Pro-
tected Setup (WPS)).
