Wireless Advanced Settings

SSID Broadcast

To prevent unknown users from associating with the Router’s network (by using “ANY” as an SSID, for example), disable the Router’s SSID broadcast by clicking in the circle next to “Disable.”

802.11b/g Mode

Access to the Router’s network can be restricted to wireless clients using either the 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters. Click on the down arrow next to the text box and select the desired option. Actiontec recommends using the “Mixed” mode (the default option), which enables both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients to join the network.
