Using the Broadcast SSID Feature

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.

For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID.

Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that

are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the

broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark from the box next to

“Broadcast SSID”, and then click “Apply Changes”. The change is

immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your

specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted. Refer to

the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information

on making this change.

Protected Mode Switch

As part of the 802.11g specification, Protected Mode ensures proper

operation of 802.11g clients and access points when there is heavy

802.11b traffic in the operating environment. When Protected mode

is ON, 802.11g scans for other wireless network traffic before it

transmits data. Therefore, using this mode in environments with

HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference achieves best performance

results. If you are in an environment with very little—or no—other

wireless network traffic, your best performance will be achieved with

Protected mode OFF.
