SSID Selection Select which SSID to configure security settings for.
Broadcast SSID Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When enabled, the SSID will
be visible to clients as an available Wi-Fi network. When
disabled, the SSID will not be visible as an available Wi-Fi
network to clients – clients must manually enter the SSID in
order to connect. A hidden (disabled) SSID is typically more
secure than a visible (enabled) SSID.
Wireless Client Isolation Enable or disable wireless client isolation. Wireless client
isolation prevents clients connected to the access point from
communicating with each other and improves security.
Typically, this function is useful for corporate environments or
public hot spots and can prevent brute force attacks on clients’
usernames and passwords.
Load Balancing Load balancing limits the number of wireless clients connected
to an SSID. Set a load balancing value (maximum 50).

down menu and refer to the information below (4-3-1-3-6.)

Authentication is disabled and no password/key is required to connect to the access point.
Disabling wireless authentication is not recommended. When disabled, anybody
within range can connect to your device’s SSID.
