Field
Descriptions
Enable
Select
Yes
to enable the virtual AP, or
No
to disable the virtual AP.
By default, the virtual AP is enabled.
WLAN SSID
The SSID of the virtual AP to be scanned by Wi-Fi clients. The value is not case-
sensitive. By default, the value is NETGEAR_XXXX, where the substring XXXX in
the SSID is replaced by the last four hex digits of the LAN MAC address of the
unit.
Default VLAN ID
The VLAN ID to be tagged on all outgoing packets generated from the virtual AP
(i.e. packets that travel from the Wi-Fi segment, through the wireless access point
to Ethernet segment via the LAN port).
If 802.1x is enabled and a per-user VLAN ID is specified in the authentication reply
from the Radius server, then the value specified via Default VLAN ID will be
overridden.
The default value of this setting is 0. That means VLAN tagging is disabled
(instead of tagged with zero).
Broadcast SSID
This setting specifies whether or not the ESSID of the virtual AP can be scanned
by Wi-Fi clients.
Note that the BSSID (i.e. the MAC address of the virtual AP) cannot be hidden
from the scan. To associate with the virtual AP, clients must specify the correct
ESSID upon association. Broadcast SSID is enabled by default.
Multicast Filter
The filtering of multicast network traffic to the wireless SSID.
Multicast Rate
The transmit rate for sending multicast network traffic.
Data Rate
Select one of the following two options:
•
Fixed
. Forces all data packets to be transmitted into the selected transmit rate.
•
Auto
. Automatically selects the best transmit rate with a condition to use the
selected transmit rate as the minimum auto transmit rate.
Default Quality of
Service
The 802.1p QoS value to be marked on all outgoing packets that are generated
from the virtual AP (i.e. packets that travel from the Wi-Fi segment, through the
wireless access point to Ethernet segment via the LAN port).
If per-user or per-domain QoS value is specified, the Default Quality of Service
value will be overridden. Possible values are Gold, Silver and Bronze.
