Wireless Main Network Name (SSID):
The main SSID 'Station Set Identifier' for your wireless network; replace with name of your choice. All
stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match with
the wireless client, it will not be able to join the network. Min one character, max 32.
If you do not check "Hide Wireless Main Network" item, the router will periodically broadcasts its SSID
to allow the wireless clients within the range to recognize its presence. This can create a security hole
since any wireless clients who receive the broadcast may be able to gain unauthorised access to your
network. Min one character, max 32.
Wireless Guest Network Name (SSID):
The Wireless Guest Network Name acts as a secondary SSID. It can be used to allow guests to access
your wireless network, using different security settings to those used for the Wireless Main Network
Name. If the SSID does not match with the wireless client, it will not be able to join the network.
If you do not check "Hide Wireless Main Network" item, the router will periodically broadcasts its SSID
to allow the wireless clients within the range to recognize its presence. This can create a security hole
since any wireless clients who receive the broadcast may be able to gain unauthorised access to your
network. Min one character, max 32.
