Read Password
Change the
Read Password
parameter in order to prevent unauthorized access to
the Access Points.
A read password is requested when you connect to Access Points with the

With the correct read password, a local LAN administrator can only monitor
Access Point statistics and tables, but not view or change any of the parameters.

Change the
Read/Write Password
parameter in order to prevent unauthorized
access to the Access Points to make changes to its configuration settings.

With the correct read/write password, a network supervisor can monitor Access

Using different values for the Read and Read/Write Password parameters you
can create different levels of authority for your LAN Administrators to
configure and/or monitor the Access Points.
