Figure 5-18 5GHz Wireless Settings - Security

The page includes the following fields:

Object

Description

SSID Selection

Select which SSID to configure security settings for.

Broadcast SSID

Enable or disable SSID broadcast.

When enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients as an available Wi-Fi

network.

When disabled, the SSID will not be visible as an available Wi-Fi

network to clients – clients must manually enter the SSID in order to

connect.

A hidden (disabled) SSID is typically more secure than a visible (enabled)

SSID.

Wireless Client

Isolation

Enable or disable wireless client isolation.

Wireless client isolation prevents clients connected to the access point

from communicating with each other and improves security. Typically, this

function is useful for corporate environments or public hot spots and can

prevent brute force attacks on clients’ usernames and passwords.

Load Balancing

Load balancing limits the number of wireless clients connected to an SSID.

Set a load balancing value (maximum 50).

Authentication

Method

Select an authentication method from the drop down menu and refer to the

information below appropriate for your method.

Additional

Authentication

Select an additional authentication method from the drop down menu.

No Authentication

Authentication is disabled and no password/key is required to connect to the access point.
