-In some cases, you don't want to adjust the radio chipset, just restrict access to only one specific SSID. This can be achieved as follows:+In some cases, you might want to just restrict access to only one specific SSID or change settings specific to only one WiFi interface. This can be achieved as follows:
  
- - Identify the SSID virtual interface you want to control.+First, identify the SSID virtual interface you want to control.
  
-Remember: virtual interfaces are always defined as [ main wireless interface name ] + [.] + [number 0-3]+The full list of WiFi interfaces on your router and all its sub-interfaces can be found in the [[advanced-wireless|Virtual Wireless]] menu.
  
-so e.g. "wl0.1". The full list of wireless interfaces available on your router and the all their sub-interfaces once again can be found under [[advanced-wlanvifs|Virtual Wireless]]+Virtual interfaces are always defined as: ''[ main wireless interface name ] + [.] + [number 0-3]''
  
-For example:+For example, on this router, in the Virtual Wireless menu, we can see the  2.4GHz interface named: "wl0.1".
