clients to dynamically discover and roam between WLANs. This feature also
makes it easier for hackers to break into your home network. Because SSIDs
are not encrypted, it is easy to grab one by snooping the WLAN looking for
SSID broadcast messages coming from the AP. (Default: Enabled)
■
Client Isolation — When enabled, wireless clients can talk to the LAN, and
reach the Internet if such connection is available, but they cannot communicate
with one another. (Default Disabled)
■
WMM — Sets the WMM operational mode on the access point. The access
point implements QoS using the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) standard. Using
WMM, the access point is able to prioritize traffic and optimize performance
when multiple applications compete for wireless network bandwidth at the
same time.(Default: Enabled)
■
Max Clients — The maximum number of clients that can associate to this SSID
at the same time. (Default: 127; Range: 1-256)
■
Idle Timeout (sec) — The AP disconnects a client when there is no activity for
the configured amount of time. (Default: 300 seconds; Range: 60-60000
seconds)

The following items are displayed in this section of the Wireless Settings page:
■
Method — Sets the wireless security method for each VAP, including
association mode, encryption, and authentication. (Default: No Security)
■
No Security — The VAP broadcasts a beacon signal including the
configured SSID. Wireless clients with an SSID setting of “any” can read the
SSID from the beacon and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate
connection.
■
WPA-PSK — For enterprise deployment, WPA requires a RADIUS
authentication server to be configured on the wired network. However, for
small office networks that may not have the resources to configure and
maintain a RADIUS server, WPA provides a simple operating mode that
uses just a pre-shared password for network access. The Pre-Shared Key
mode uses a common password for user authentication that is manually
entered on the access point and all wireless clients. The PSK mode uses the
