Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

Wireless-G Router WGR614v10 Reference Manual

Figure 2-5

The available settings in this screen are:

•Enable SSID Broadcast. Clear this check box to disable broadcast of the SSID, so that only devices that know the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network discovery feature of some products such as Windows XP.

•Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices cannot connect to the Wireless-G Router. If you will not be using your wireless network for a period of time, you can clear this check box and disable all wireless connectivity.

•Enable WMM. Clear this check box to disable WMM. Disabling WMM turns off the wireless prioritization scheme. Note that wireless clients must also support WMM to take advantage of this feature.

•Wireless Card Access List. For information about this list, see “Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address” on page 2-11.

Note: The Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.
