For security reasons, it’s highly recommended that the security mode be set to options other than
Open System . When the security mode is set to Open System, no authentication and data encryption
will be performed. Additionally, you can disable the SSID broadcasts functionality so that a wireless
client computer with an “any” SSID cannot associate with the wireless access gateway.
When the Wireless client isolation setting is set to This AP only , wireless clients of this wireless ac-
cess gateway as an AP cannot see each other, and wireless-to-wireless traffic is blocked. When the
setting is set to
All APs in this subnet , traffic among wireless users of different APs in the same IP
subnet is blocked. This feature is useful for WLANs deployed in public places. In this way, hackers
have no chance to attack other wireless users in a
hotspot . The behaviors are illustrated in the follow-
ing figures.
