drop-down menu.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is designed to improve upon the security features of
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to work with existing
Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data
encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys
using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature which makes
sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.
ESSID Selection
: As this device supports multiple SSIDs, it is possible to configure
a different security mode for each SSID (profile). Select an SSID from the drop-down
list.
Broadcast SSID
: Select
Enable
or
Disable
from the drop-down list. This is the SSID
broadcast feature.
When this option is set to Enable, your wireless network name is
broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal
. If you're not using encryption then
they could connect to your network. When this is disabled, you must enter the
Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.
