Follow these steps to create an SSID using the Express Security page:

1. Type the SSID in the SSID entry field. The SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
2. To broadcast the SSID in the access point beacon, check the Broadcast SSID in Beacon checkbox. When you broadcast the SSID, devices that do not specify an SSID can associate to the access point. This is a useful option for an SSID used by guests or by client devices in a public space. If you do not broadcast the SSID, client devices cannot associate to the access point unless their SSID matches this SSID. Only one SSID can be included in the access point beacon.
3. (Optional)Check the Enable VLAN ID checkbox and enter a VLAN number (1 through 4095) to assign the SSID to a VLAN. You cannot assign an SSID to an existing VLAN.
4. (Optional)Check the Native VLAN checkbox to mark the VLAN as the native VLAN.
5. Select the security setting for the SSID. The settings are listed in order of robustness, from No Security to WPA, which is the most secure setting. If you select EAP Authentication or WPA, enter the IP address and shared secret for the authentication server on your network.
6. Click Apply. The SSID appears in the SSID table on the bottom of the page.
