SSID Broadcast Settings
This option is only available in
Repeater
and
Access point
modes.
Before wireless network components can communicate with each other, you have to
use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier). In the
SSID Broadcast
window, you can make
SSID transmission visible or invisible.
If you select
SSID visible
, the Gigaset WLAN Repeater will send the SSID in all data trans-
missions, and the SSID will be displayed on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In
this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to your network.
If you select
SSID invisible
, your Gigaset WLAN Repeater's SSID will not be displayed.
This increases the protection against unauthorised access to the wireless network. How-
ever, you should make a note of the SSID. You will need it for setting up a wireless con-
nection between a PC and your Gigaset WLAN Repeater.
