SSID Broadcast Feature

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

For security, 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”. 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.

Using the Wireless Mode Switch

Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: “Mixed (11b+11g)”, “11g Only”, “11b Only”, and “Off”. The different modes are explained below.
