This device supports multiple wireless
networks. The system will detect the
Main SSID of your router and

The SSID is the identification characters of
a router. The default words will be shown
on this page. If you do not check “Hidden
SSID” item, the router will periodically
broadcasts its SSID to allow the wireless
clients within the range to recognize its
presence. This can create a security hole
since any wireless clients which got the
broadcast might associate to your s ystem.
Please note that if you want to
communicate, all wireless clients should
use the same SSID with the router or
access point.
Two SSIDs are supported. One SSID
can be used for main wireless network
and the other SSID can be used for
guest wireless network. Two wireless
networks can be configured in
different wireless security level.
