Recommendations
WPA w/PSK not recommended for use with the D-Link DWL-2210AP when WPA with
RADIUS is an option.
We recommend that you use WPA with RADIUS mode instead, unless you have
interoperability issues that prevent you from using this mode.
For example, some devices on your network may not support WPA with EAP talking
to a RADIUS server. Embedded printer servers or other small client devices with
very limited space for implementation may not support RADIUS. For such cases, we
recommend that you use WPA-PSK.

“Configuring Security Settings” in this manual.
Does Prohibiting the Broadcast SSID Enhance Security?
You can suppress (prohibit) this broadcast to discourage stations from automatically
discovering your access point. When the AP’s broadcast SSID is suppressed, the network
name will not be displayed in the List of Available Networks on a client station. Instead,
the client must have the exact network name configured in the supplicant before it will
be able to connect.
Disabling the broadcast SSID is sufficient to prevent clients from accidentally connecting
to your network, but it will not prevent even the simplest of attempts by a hacker to
connect, or monitor plain text traffic.
This offers a very minimal level of protection on an otherwise exposed network (such
as a guest network) where the priority is making it easy for clients to get a connection
and where no sensitive information is available.
