FieldDescription

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 ESS (Extended Service Set) Authentication Mode. Authentication establishes either an 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:

Open	No authentication is used.
System	Default setting.
Pre-Shared	Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
Key (PSK)	authentication method is
	used. You need to share the
	same key between your
	WE800G and wireless
	network.

Pre-Shared Key is the best choice as it provides stronger security.
