Using the ESSID Broadcast Feature

For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, select “DISABLE” and then click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change.

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.

Using the Wireless Mode Switch

Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: “Mixed”, “11g Only”, and “11b Only”. The different modes are explained next.

•Mixed - In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients simultaneously. This mode is the factory default and ensures full compatibility with Wi-Fi-compatible devices. Set the Router to Mixed mode if you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network. This is the recommended setting for your router and should only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so.
