By default the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its Network Name (SSID) to the WLAN clients. WLAN clients using this broadcast SSID or using an empty SSID can join the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.

To enhance the security of your connection, it is possible to select “only stations with the correct Network name (SSID) can connect”.

Note When you enable this option, the SSID will not be broadcast. Depending on your wireless client, the SpeedTouch™ wireless network will no longer be visible in the list of available networks. Moreover, stations trying to associate with an empty SSID will not be able to connect. Click Save all to save your changes to persistent memory.

It is possible to personalise the Network Name (SSID). Proceed as follows:

1Enter the SSID of your choice in the Network name (SSID) field. Note The SSID must consist of maximum 32 alphanumeric characters.

2Click Apply to apply the SSID.

3Reconfigure your wireless client(s) to use the changed settings.

4Click Save all to save your changes to persistent memory.
