Wireless LAN	This shows whether the wireless LAN is ON or OFF. You can enable or disable the
	wireless LAN by using the WLAN switch located on the back panel of the NBG4615.

Name(SSID)	client is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found
	on a typical English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN.
	You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service Sets) on
	the NBG4615. This allows you to use one access point to provide several BSSs

	Wireless clients can use different SSIDs to associate with the same access point.
