|
Enable SSID | By default, the modem router broadcasts its SSID so WiFi stations can detect the WiFi |
Broadcast | name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the |
| Enable SSID Broadcast check box. Turning off the SSID broadcast provides additional |
| WiFi security, but users must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network of the |
| modem router. |
|
|
Enable Wireless | By default, the modem router allows communication between WiFi clients that are |
Isolation | connected to its WiFi network. Enabling wireless isolation might be a useful security |
| measure if you use the modem router for a hotspot or other public WiFi network. To |
| enable wireless isolation, select the Enable Wireless Isolation check box. |
Name (SSID) | The SSID is the WiFi network name. If you did not change the SSID, the default SSID |
| displays. The default SSID is also printed on the product label (see Bottom Panel Product |
| Label on page 10). |
| Note: NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the default SSID. If you must |
| change the SSID, enter a |
|
|
Region | From the Region menu, select the region in which you use the modem router. |
| Note: In some locations, you cannot change the setting in the Region menu. |
