Controlling Wireless Station Access

Turning off wireless connectivity completely.

You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the modem router. For example, if you use your notebook computer to wirelessly connect to your modem router, and you take a business trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the modem router while you are traveling. Other members of your household who use computers connected to the modem router via Ethernet cables can still use the modem router. To do this, clear the Enable Wireless Access Point check box on the Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply.

Hiding your wireless network name (SSID).

By default, the modem router is set to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). You can restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name (SSID). To do this, clear the Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID) check box on the Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply. Wireless devices will not “see” your modem router. You must configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name (SSID) of the modem router.

Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the modem router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the modem router.
