IV-6-2-3. Security

The access point provides various security options (wireless data encryption).
When data is encrypted, information transmitted wirelessly cannot be read by
anyone who does not know the correct encryption key.
It's essential to configure wireless security in order to prevent
unauthorised access to your network.
Select hard-to-guess passwords which include combinations of
numbers, letters and symbols, and change your password
regularly.
SSID
Broadcast SSID
Wireless Client
Isolation
Select which SSID to configure security settings
for.
Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When
enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients as an
available Wi-Fi network. When disabled, the
SSID will not be visible as an available Wi-Fi
network to clients – clients must manually
enter the SSID in order to connect. A hidden
(disabled) SSID is typically more secure than a
visible (enabled) SSID.
Enable or disable wireless client isolation.
Wireless client isolation prevents clients
connected to the access point from
communicating with each other and improves
security. Typically, this function is useful for
corporate environments or public hot spots
and can prevent brute force attacks on clients'
usernames and passwords.
