Basic Settings
The Cisco RV220W provides four SSIDs or virtual access points. These networks
can be configured and enabled with individual settings. You can set up multiple
networks to segment the network traffic, to allow different levels of access, such
as guest access, or to allow access for different functions such as accounting,
billing, and so on.
NOTE
One wireless network, rv220_1, is enabled by default, with SSID Broadcast
enabled and no security settings. This configuration allows you to immediately
begin using your wireless network. However, you should configure all of your
networks with the highest possible security that is supported by your network
devices.
Use the
Wireless > Basic Settings
page to configure the radio and other basic
settings for your wireless network. This page provides access to related pages
where you can configure security, MAC filtering, and Wi-Fi Multimedia quality of
