Parameter
Description
Select one SSID from the drop-down list menu.
SSID
The AP allows you to enable 8 SSIDs on 2.4 GHz band, and 4 SSIDs on 5 GHz band.
Enable
Used to enable or disable the wireless network you selected.
Enable: Nearby wireless clients can detect the SSID.
Broadcast SSID
Disable: Nearby wireless clients cannot detect the SSID, and you need to enter
the SSID manually on the wireless client to access the wireless network.
Isolate Client
This parameter implements a function similar to the VLAN function for wired networks.
It isolates the wireless devices connected to the same WiFi network, so that the
wireless devices can access only the wired network connected to the AP. You can apply
this function to hotspot setup in public spaces, such as hotels and airports to improve
network security.
The number of wireless devices keeps increasing currently, but wired and wireless
bandwidth resources are limited. Therefore, the multicast technology, which enables
single-point data transmission and multi-point data reception, has been widely used in
networks in order to reduce bandwidth requirements and prevent network congestion.
WMF
Nevertheless, if a large number of devices are connected to a wireless interface of a
WiFi network and multicast data is intended for only one of the devices, the data is still
sent to all the devices, which increases unnecessary wireless resource usage and may
lead to wireless channel congestion. In addition, multicast stream forwarding over an
802.11 network is not secure, either.
The WMF function of the AP converts multicast traffic into unicast traffic and forwards
the traffic to the multicast traffic destination in the WiFi network, helping save wireless
resources, ensuring reliable transmission, and reducing delays.
Suppress Broadcast
Probe Response
If enabled, this device does not respond to the requests without an SSID, saving
wireless resources.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of devices that can connect to the WiFi
network corresponding to an SSID. If the number is reached, the WiFi network rejects
new connection requests from devices. This limit helps balance load among SSIDs.
Max. Number of
Clients
The AP supports 128 clients at most. That is to say, clients connected to all the enabled
wireless networks of the AP cannot exceed 128. If you enable multiple SSIDs, plan your
maximum number of clients to each SSID first.
It specifies the character encoding format.
Available options include GB2312 and UTF-8.
Chinese SSID
Encoding
A proper encoding format lets the SSID containing Chinese characters be displayed
