4.2.4 Broadcast SSID
Wireless Settings -> Broadcast SSID
When this function is disabled, the wireless network will become invisible. Only people
who know the SSID name can join the network. It is recommended to use this feature to
protect the network from intruders. However, once this function is disabled, it might be
necessary to configure the wireless connection manually. This option is available in AP
mode, AP Router mode, and Repeater modes only.
4.2.5 Multiple SSID
Wireless -> Multiple SSID
Multiple SSID allows N.TOP to create up to 4 different wireless networks (SSID). It is also
known as “Virtual AP” function. Each SSID can have its Encryption policy. The SSID1
is the main SSID under Wireless Setting page.
4.2.6 Channel
Wireless -> Channel
The channel is the frequency range used by radio. In 802.11n/g/b standard, there are
maximum of 14 Channels. However, the available channels in each country are
dependant on the local regulation. If you are living in Europe, you can use channel 1 to 13.
If you are living in the United States, you can use channel 1 to 11.
Each wireless channel takes between 22 to 25MHz of frequency width. But the channels
are only 5MHz apart. Therefore, only every 5 channels can be free of interference with
each other. It is recommended that you can do a site survey to find about what channels
are used by surrounding AP and choose a channel that is not used by other APs.
