Virtual Access Point

Virtual Access Point (VAP) enables you to create multiple Access Points with different Service Set Identifier, WDS settings, and even different MAC address, using the same hardware interface. You can create up to 7 VAP interfaces from a single physical interface. To create a Virtual Access Point, simply add a new interface, specifying a master-interfacewhich is the physical interface that will do the hardware function to VAP.
