Wireless Security Settings

Hide your network

By default, your Ovation broadcasts the Service Set Identifier (SSID). In some operating systems, the SSID is referred to as the network name. This makes it easy for computers in your network to find and connect to your Ovation. It also makes it easy for computers outside of your network to find you.

Consider disabling the SSID broadcast as a final step

of your security settings and after all of the devices in your network are connected and tested.

After you disable the SSID broadcast, new computers you add to your wireless network might not be able to communicate with your Ovation. If this happens, enable the SSID broadcast to allow the new computers to connect wirelessly.

Once the computers have connected, you can disable the SSID broadcast again.

•Click System Settings then

WLAN AP.

•Uncheck Broadcast SSID.

•Click Apply.
