 Physical wireless interfaces are listed as wl0, wl1, wl2, and so on. An alias (like for physical interfaces) is identified by a period (".") and "reference number" , such as wl0.1, wl0.2 and so forth. For example, in the image above, the virtual network wl0.1 (sharing the 2.4 GHz radio) has SSID name "Guest24". The virtual network wl0.2 (sharing the 5 GHz radio) has SSID name "Guest50".
-The more virtual interfaces there are, the more possible SSIDs you get and the less throughput is available to each client. However, this is hardly noticeable for up to 4-5 virtual SSIDs).

 **WFilter:**  Here, you can enable/disable Wireless MAC address filtering for the VIF on that line, similar to that in the [[basic-wfilter|Wireless Filter]] menu.

 ===== Virtual Wireless Notes =====
-**Warning!** Avoid using 'virtual interfaces' on interface in Wireless Ethernet Bridge or Media Bridge mode due to possible problems.
+**Warning!** Avoid using virtual interfaces on an interface in Wireless Ethernet Bridge or Media Bridge mode due to possible problems.
 When you create/define a new wireless VIF (Virtual interface), its MAC Address will be shown (incorrectly) as "00:00:00:00:00:00", as it is unknown at that moment. The MAC Address will display correctly as soon as the network is restarted and the menu is refreshed.
-When saving changes, the MAC Addresses of all defined non-primary wireless VIFs could sometimes already be set, but might be recreated by the wl driver (Broadcom's proprietary wireless LAN driver). Thus, previous settings might need to be updated/changed accordingly in the [[:mac_address|MAC Address]] menu after saving settings and rebooting the router.

 FreshTomato's web interface allows you to configure a maximum of 4 VIFs for each physical wireless interface available. You can define up to 3 extra VIFs in addition to the primary VIF (on devices with multiple VIF capabilities).
-You should not adjust the configuration settings for the primary VIF of any physical wireless interfaces in this menu. For that, use the [[basic-network|Network]] page instead.
