Configuring virtual access point interfaces
The router supports up to four virtual access point (VAP) interfaces per radio. One VAP is the
primary (with default SSID “HP1”), and the others can be enabled if required. Each VAP
essentially functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own Service Set
Identifier (SSID) and security settings. Wireless clients associate with these VAPs the same as
they would with separate physical access points. This allows access to specific VAPs to be
based on certain user groups or application traffic.
The VAP table includes the following settings:
Enable
Enables secondary VAP interfaces. By default, only the primary VAP interface is enabled
(under the basic radio settings), but up to four VAP interfaces can be enabled and configured.
SSID
The SSID is equivalent to the wireless network name and it can be changed if needed. The SSID
is case-sensitive and can contain up to 32 standard alphanumeric characters, including spaces
(a space as the first or last character or all spaces is not allowed). If there are other wireless
networks in your area, you need to give your wireless network a unique name. Enter a new
name in the
SSID
box and click
Save
to make the change.
Station Isolation
This function prevents wireless clients associated to the same VAP interface (SSID) from
communicating with one another. When enabled, wireless clients associated with the same
VAP can only communicate with the Internet, LAN, and wireless clients on other VAPs.
Broadcast
By default, the router always broadcasts SSIDs in its beacon signal. When disabled, the router
does not include SSIDs in beacon messages, nor does it respond to probe requests from clients
that do not include a valid SSID. Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network
because wireless clients need to know the SSID before attempting to connect to the network. If
you decide to disable the SSID broadcast, ensure that your clients know the name of the
network first.
