Definition: Multi-SSID is only available in Access Point mode. Pharos device can build up to four virtual wireless networks for users to access. When the Multi-SSID function is enabled, its VLAN function is enabled at the same time. The clients with different VLAN ID cannot directly communicate with each other.
