◆Broadcast Network Name (SSID) — By default, the Wireless
Broadband Router always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal.
Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network because
wireless clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to
connect. (Default: Enabled)
◆AP Isolation — The Wireless Broadband Router will isolate
communincation between all clients in order to protect them. Normally
for users who are at hotspots. (Default: Disabled)
◆BSSID — The identifier (MAC address) of the Wireless Broadband
Router in the Basic Service Set (BSS) network.
◆Security Mode — Specifies the security mode for the SSID. Select the
security method and then configure the required parameters. For more
information, see “WLAN Security” on page 69. (Options: Disabled,
Open, Shared, WEP-AUTO, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK_WPA2-PSK,
WPA, WPA2, WPA1_WPA2, 802.1X; Default: Disabled)

To keep your wireless network protected and secure, you should
implement the highest security possible. For small networks, it is
recommended to select WPA2-PSK using AES encryption as the most
secure option. However, if you have older wireless devices in the network
that do not support AES encryption, select TKIP as the encryption
algorithm.
◆Access Policy — The Wireless Broadband Router provides a MAC
address filtering facility. The access policy can be set to allow or reject
specific station MAC addresses. This feature can be used to connect
known wireless devices that may not be able to support the configured
security mode.
◆Add a station MAC — Enter the MAC address of the station that you
want to filter. MAC addresses must be entered in the format
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
