The page includes the following fields:
Object
Description
SSID Selection
Select which SSID to configure security settings for.
Broadcast SSID
Enable
or
disable
SSID broadcast.
When enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients as an available Wi-Fi
network.
When disabled, the SSID will not be visible as an available Wi-Fi
network to clients – clients must manually enter the SSID in order to
connect.
A hidden (disabled) SSID is typically more secure than a visible (enabled)
SSID.
Wireless Client
Isolation
Enable
or
disable
wireless client isolation.
Wireless client isolation prevents clients connected to the access point
from communicating with each other and improves security. Typically, this
function is useful for corporate environments or public hot spots and can
prevent brute force attacks on clients’ usernames and passwords.
Load Balancing
Load balancing limits the number of wireless clients connected to an SSID.
Set a load balancing value (maximum 50 per radio).
