| - | ====== Virtual AP ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Even on one single physical wireless chip, it is possible to broadcast multiple wireless SSID's. | ||
| - | In that case we are talking about //'__V__irtual __A__ccess-__P__oints'// or //'VAP's'//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | A VAP is basically a logical //'wifi-interface'// which points to an existing //'wifi-device'// (physical interface). | ||
| - | Therefore it can be treated as any other interface as well. It can apply own encryption-settings, filter- and firewall-rules, can be put into a bridge and so on. | ||
| - | |||
| - | These instructions shows how to add a new virtual wireless interface to the routers configuration. | ||
