to prevent clients that are connected to this access point
from communicating with each other. See
for information about how to
prevent clients connected to different access points from communicating with each other.
9. For
Encryption
, select

10. (Optional) For
Group rekey interval
, type the amount of time to wait before changing the
group key.
The group key is shared by all in clients of the access point, and after a client has disconnected,
it will be able to use the group key to decrypt broadcast packets until the key is changed.
Allowed values are any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and take the format
number
{
d|h|m|s
}.
For example, to set
Group rekey interval
to ten minutes, enter
10m
or
600s
.
Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issues in noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to
0
. This will allow any client that has previously connected see all
broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.

The access point must be assigned to an active LAN, or a bridge that is assigned to an active
LAN.
