Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA

Hide your wireless network name (SSID). The SSID can be regularly broadcast and unauthorized users may use this information to access your network. See Section 6.4 on page 62 for directions on using the web configurator to hide the SSID.

Enable the MAC filter to allow only trusted users to access your wireless network or deny unwanted users access based on their MAC address. See Section 10.4 on page 103 for directions on configuring the MAC filter.
