Option Description
Hide Access
Point Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection
by wireless active scans. To check AP status in Windows XP, open
Network Connections from the start Menu and select View
Available Network Connections. If the access point is hidden, it
will not be listed there. To connect a client to a hidden access point,
the station must add the access point manually to its wireless
configuration.
Clients
Isolation When enabled, it prevents client PCs from seeing one another in My
Network Places or Network Neighborhood. Also, prevents one
wireless client communicating with another wireless client.
Disable WMM
Advertise Stops the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM)
functionality, which provides basic quality of service for
time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video).

SSID

access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user will not be
granted access.
BSSID The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS
(Basic Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS
networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of
the AP (Access Point); and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks,
the BSSID is generated randomly.
Country A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific national
settings. Local regulations limit channel range:
US= worldwide, Japan=1-14, Jordan= 10-13, Israel= 1-13
