14.4 Creating multiple SSID
Though only one router is physically present to provide Internet access to any
host machines in your network, it is possible to create virtual interface so that
you can restrict and control access to different groups of users based on
security and functionality. This is achieved by creating multiple SSIDs and
assigning separate SSIDs to group of users. Please note that only one router
is servicing multiple SSIDs.
Click on
Add
button (next to Generic interface) to add another network
(SSID).
Follow the same procedure as given in Wi-Fi section to create ANOTHER
interface in Access Point mode. Please note that the device configuration for
both interfaces remain the same. However, the Interface configuration can be
different.
Assign a new ESSID to the interface.
You can make different choices for Network, Security and MAC address
filtering, so that you can differentiate between different groups of users.
For example, you can choose one interface with MAC Address filtering
DISABLED whereas another with „ALLOW only listed MAC Addresses‟. This
way, you can provide full Internet access to only second group while
restricting it for former group.
After you make all the settings, click on SAVE AND APPLY button to create
the new interface.
Back to the
Network / Wi-Fi
you will see the second SSID.
