Web Configurator and is only for management purposes. Spaces and underscores are

Security Profile
Select a security profile from this list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use the
Create new Object
menu to create one.
Note: It is highly recommended that you create security profiles for all of your SSIDs to
enhance your network security.
MAC Filtering
Profile
Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use
the
Create new Object
menu to create one.
MAC filtering allows you to limit the wireless clients connecting to your network through a
particular SSID by wireless client MAC addresses. Any clients that have MAC addresses not in
the MAC filtering profile of allowed addresses are denied connections.
The
disable
setting means no MAC filtering is used.
