ronment that may have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA
cannot scan and find EKI-6332GN-AE/EKI-6331AN-BE, so that malicious attack
by some illegal STA could be avoided.

Wireless Separation:
Wireless separation is an ideal way to enhance the security of network transmis-
sion. Under the mode except wireless client mode, enable “Wireless Separa-
tion” can prevent the communication among associated wireless clients.

WMM Support:
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a subset of 802.11e. It allows wireless communica-
tion to define a priority limit on the basis of data type under AP mode only, thus
those time-sensitive data, like video/audio data, may own a higher priority than
common one. To enable WMM, the wireless client should also support it

Max. Station Number:
By checking the “Max. Station Num” the Access Point will only allow up to 32
wireless clients to associate with for better bandwidth for each client. By dis-
abling the checkbox the Access Point will allow up to 128 clients to connect, but
it is likely to cause network congestion or poor performance.

IGMP Snooping:
Available in AP/Router mode, IGMP snooping is the process of listening to
IGMP network traffic. By enabling IGMP snooping, the AP will listen to IGMP
membership reports, queries and leave messages to identify the ports that are
members of multicast groups. Multicast traffic will only be forwarded to ports
identified as members of the specific multicast group or groups.
