Note
Note you can also allow or prohibit the Broadcast SSID and enable/
disable Station Isolation as extra precautions as mentioned below.
Broadcast SSID
Select the
Broadcast SSID
setting by clicking Allow or Prohibit.
By default, the access point broadcasts (allows) the Service Set
Identifier (SSID) in its beacon frames.
You can suppress (prohibit) this broadcast to discourage stations from
automatically discovering your access point. When the access point’s
broadcast SSID is suppressed, the network name will not be displayed
in the List of Available Networks on a client station. Instead, the client
must have the exact network name configured in the supplicant before
it will be able to connect.
Station Isolation
Select
Off
to disable Station Isolation or
On
to enable it.
When Station Isolation is
Off
, wireless clients can communicate with
one another normally by sending traffic through the access point.
When Station Isolation is
On
, the access point blocks communication
between wireless clients. The access point still allows data traffic
between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, but not
among wireless clients. The traffic blocking extends to wireless clients
connected to the network via
WDS
links; these clients cannot
communicate with each other when Station Isolation is on. See
Chapter 16, “Configuring the Wireless Distribution System (WDS)” on
page 173 for more information about WDS.
