Also, the AP doesn’t send probe responses to
probe requests with unspecified SSIDs.

communicate with any client. There are three different encryption options available for
access points.

You can choose to have no encryption of wireless communications within the network
although it is not recommended. Although no encryption is the default setting, you must
manually select

be prompted if you want to operate the WSG in Bypass mode. If you answer Yes, no
encryption is applied.
