Settings for the access point
To enable a Wi-Fi network, select Enable this access
point
.
The SSID specifies the name of your wireless network.
You can see this name when logging onto the Wi-Fi
and thereby identify the correct subnet. If you enable
the
Hide SSID option, your wireless network name re-
mains hidden. In this case, potential network users
must know the exact SSID and enter it manually to be
able to set up a connection.
A change to the SSID can interfere
with all existing connections for a
short time.
Some Wi-Fi clients have difficulty connecting
to such hidden wireless networks. If the con-
nection to a hidden SSID poses problems,
first try to set up the connection with a visible
SSID and only then try to hide it.
Depending upon the application scenario, security
considerations may mean that it is to be forbidden for
all devices to exchange data freely with each other. For
this purpose, the option
No data forwarding be-
tween Wi-Fi stations can be activated, which imple-
ments a genuine "peer-to-peer isolation"; all Wi-Fi
devices configured as client are not able to exchange
any data with each other, but only with the
dLAN pro 500 W.
