IV-3-2-3. 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 is essential to configure wireless security in order to prevent
unauthorised access to your network.
For optimal security, select a hard-to-guess password which
include a combination of numbers, letters and symbols.
SSID Selection Select which SSID to configure security settings
for.
Broadcast ESSID Enable or disable ESSID broadcast. When
enabled, the ESSID will be visible to clients as
an available Wi-Fi network. When disabled, the
ESSID will not be visible as an available Wi-Fi
network to clients – clients must manually
enter the ESSID in order to connect. A hidden
(disabled) ESSID is typically more secure than a
visible (enabled) SSID.
