SSID | The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, |
| therefore, all access points and all devices attempting |
| to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same |
| SSID. It is |
| characters. A device will not be permitted to join the |
| BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is |
| also referred to as a network name because essentially |
| it is a name that identifies a wireless network. |

| region of this Access Point. All stations communicating |

Encryption | WEP Encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is set to |
| Disabled by default. When WEP is enabled, data |
| packet is encrypted |

| packets from being eavesdropped by unrelated people. |
| By using WEP data encryption, there may be a |
| significant degradation of the data throughput on the |
| wireless link. |
Associated Clients | Displays the total number of clients associated to this |
| AP. You can have up to 64 clients to associate to this |
| Access Point. |
BSSID | BSSID displays the ID of current BSS, which uniquely |
| identifies each BSS. In AP mode, this value is the MAC |
| address of this Access Point. |
