WLAN Security

The security/encryption type and password for your wireless extender is the
same as your existing router/access point. On this page you can set a new
SSID for your extender and choose to broadcast or hide the extender's SSID.
Broadcast SSID
Device SSID
Security Type
Enable or disable ESSID broadcast. When
enabled, the ESSID will be visible to clients as
an available Wi-Fi network. When disabled,
the ESSID will not be visible as an available
Wi-Fi network to clients – clients must
manually enter the ESSID in order to connect.
A hidden (disabled) ESSID is typically more
secure than a visible (enabled) SSID. WPS
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is also disabled when
SSID broadcast is disabled.
This is the name of your Wi-Fi network for
identification, also sometimes referred to as
"SSID". The SSID can consist of any
combination of up to 32 alphanumerical
characters.
The security/encryption type of your
EW-7438RPn Air's wireless network is
displayed here. The security/encryption type
is the same as your existing router/access
point.
