Field Description
SSID Broadcast
SSID (Service Set Identifier). Broadcasts the
SSID of the Wireless Ethernet Bridge to
devices on your network. This option can only
be disabled when Ad-Hoc is selected from
Network Type on the
Basic
screen.
The SSID Broadcast allows wireless clients,
like a laptop computer, to receive the Wireless
Ethernet Bridge’s SSID and then join the Ad-
Hoc network.
If you don’t want the SSID to be broadcast,
disable this feature.
The default is enabled.
ESS Auth Mode

open or secure verification of communication
with a wireless network. This setting does not
encrypt your transmission, rather it verifies who
is connecting.
The options are:

Default setting.
Pre-Shared
Key (PSK)
Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
authentication method is
used. You need to share the
same key between your

network.

provides stronger security.
