NWA3000-N Series User’s Guide

MAC Filtering 
Profile

Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If 
none exist, you can sue the Create new Object menu to create one.

MAC filtering allows you to limit the wireless clients connecting to your 
network through a particular SSID by wireless client MAC addresses. Any 
clients that have MAC addresses not in the MAC filtering profile of 
allowed addresses are denied connections.

The 

disable

 setting means no MAC filtering is used.

QoS

Select a Quality of Service (QoS) access category to associate with this 
SSID. Access categories minimize the delay of data packets across a 
wireless network. Certain categories, such as video or voice, are given a 
higher priority due to the time sensitive nature of their data packets.

QoS access categories are as follows:

disable

: Turns off QoS for this SSID. All data packets are treated 

equally and not tagged with access categories.

WMM

: Enables automatic tagging of data packets. The NWA3000-N 

series AP assigns access categories to the SSID by examining data as it 
passes through it and making a best guess effort. If something looks like 
video traffic, for instance, it is tagged as such.

WMM_VOICE

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as voice data. 

This is recommended if an SSID is used for activities like placing and 
receiving VoIP phone calls.

WMM_VIDEO

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as video data. 

This is recommended for activities like video conferencing.

WMM_BEST_EFFORT

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as “best 

effort,” meaning the data travels the best route it can without displacing 
higher priority traffic. This is good for activities that do not require the 
best bandwidth throughput, such as surfing the Internet.

WMM_BACKGROUND

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as low 

priority or “background traffic”, meaning all other access categories take 
precedence over this one. If traffic from an SSID does not have strict 
throughput requirements, then this access category is recommended. 
For example, an SSID that only has network printers connected to it.

VLAN ID

Enter a VLAN ID for the NWA3000-N series AP to use to tag traffic 
originating from this SSID.

Hidden SSID

Select this if you want to “hide” your SSID from wireless clients. This 
tells any wireless clients in the vicinity of the AP using this SSID profile 
not to display its SSID name as a potential connection. Not all wireless 
clients respect this flag and display it anyway.

When an SSID is “hidden” and a wireless client cannot see it, the only 
way you can connect to the SSID is by manually entering the SSID name 
in your wireless connection setup screen(s) (these vary by client, client 
connectivity software, and operating system).

Enable Intra-
BSS Traffic 
Blocking

Select this option to prevent crossover traffic from within the same 
SSID.
