BW1251 supports
Multiple BSSID (MBSSID)
function. You can configure up to 16 BSSIDs per radio
on BW1251 and assign different configuration settings to each BSSID. For wireless users, they can
think BW1251 as a single AP with multi services supported, including different security policy, different
VLAN ID, different authentication etc. All the BSSIDs are active at the same time, which means that
client devices can be associated to the access point for specific service. Use the
Wireless | Advance
menu to configure properties related to Multiple BSSID, including configure SSID, Hidden SSID,
VLAN, and Security for each SSID.
Each BSSID can have its own SSID. In this case, Multiple BSSIDs are the same
with Multiple ESSIDs. Wireless users can think BW1251s as multiple virtual APs,
each supporting different service, and connecting one SSID for the special
services.
Also, BW1251 supports
Bridge
function, it can support up to 8
Bridge links
per radio. Different
bridge link can use different WEP key index.
