In AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that may
have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA cannot scan and find the IEEE 802.11n
Wireless Access Point, so that malicious attack by some illegal STA could be avoided.
Wireless Separation:
Wireless separation is an ideal way to enhance the security of network transmission. Under the
mode except wireless client mode, enable "Wireless Separation" can prevent the
communication among associated wireless clients.
WMM Support:
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a subset of 802.11e. It allows wireless communication to define a
priority limit on the basis of data type under AP mode only, thus those time-sensitive data, like
video/audio data, may own a higher priority than common one. To enable WMM, the wireless
client should also support it
Max. Station Number:
By checking the "Max. Station Num" the Access Point will only allow up to 32 wireless clients to
associate with for better bandwidth for each client. By disabling the checkbox the Access Point
will allow up to 128 clients to connect, but it is likely to cause network congestion or poor
performance.
IGMP Snooping:
Available in AP/Router mode, IGMP snooping is the process of listening to IGMP network traffic.
By enabling IGMP snooping, the AP will listen to IGMP membership reports, queries and leave
messages to identify the ports that are members of multicast groups. Multicast traffic will only be
forwarded to ports identified as members of the specific multicast group or groups.
Security Setting:
To prevent unauthorized radios from accessing data transmitting over the connectivity, the
IEEE802.11n Wireless Access Point provides you with rock solid security settings. For detailed
information please go to Chapter 4 Wireless Security Setting.
