Broadcast SSID
When on (the default), the Gateway broadcasts its Network Name (SSID) to clients
scanning for wireless networks. To connect to your wireless LAN, they must first choose
the Network Name.
If disabled, this mode hides the wireless network from the scanning features of
wireless client computers. Hiding the SSID prevents casual detection of the wireless
network by unwanted neighbors and passers-by. The gateway WLAN will not appear
when clients scan for access points. If enabled, you must remember to enter the SSID
when adding clients to the wireless LAN.
Note:
While disabling the Broadcast SSID may prevent casual discovery of the
wireless network, enabling security is the only true method of securing the
network.
