When the number of connected wireless clients has reached this value, no more wireless
clients can connect to the SSID.

SSID
Encode
Select Chinese SSID encodes to match wireless clients with different code formats in a
better way. It is UTF-8 by default. If two or more SSIDs are enabled on this AP, it is
advisable to set some SSIDs to UTF-8 and set others to GB2312 so that any client can
recognize and connect to it.
Security Mode
Display wireless encryption information of the current SSID. Available security modes are:
None, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA, and WPA2. Next we
will give you more details about them.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): WEP is a security mode for data which is delivered between two devices to
protect wireless network from illegal users. Wireless speed can reach up to 54Mbps if WEP is used. For better
network security, this kind of encryption is not suggested.
Three encryption types are supported for WEP: Open, Shared and 802.1x.
Tip
Most smart phones can only use WEP key 1 to connect to the WEP-encrypted (Open or Shared) WiFi. When the
security mode is WEP, and the encryption type is Open or Shared, to verify that your smart phone can connect to
the AP’s WiFi, you’d better select WEP Key 1 as the default key.
