•Enable Wireless Router Radio.
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the wireless router. For example, if you use
your notebook computer to wirelessly connect to your wireless router, and you take a business
trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the wireless router while you are traveling. Other
members of your household who use computers connected to the wireless router via Ethernet
cables can still use the wireless router. To do this, clear the Enable Wireless Access Point
check box on the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply.
•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.
The Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options are reserved
for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.
•WPS Settings. For information about WPS settings, see “Using Push ‘N’ Connect to
Configure Your Wireless Network” on page2-9.
•Restricting access by MAC address. You can use a Wireless Card Access List to restrict
access. See “Restricting Access by MAC Address” on page 3-3.
Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure
in the wireless router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless
connection to the wireless router.
