No other wireless functions will be available unless

SSID : The SSID is a unique name for your wireless network. It is case sen-
sitive and must not exceed 32 characters. The default SSID is "wireless "
but you should change this to a personal wireless network name. All wire-
less points in your network must use the same SSID. Verify that you are
using the correct SSID and click the
Apply button to set it.
SSID Broadcast - Allows the SSID to be broadcast on your network. You
may want to enable this function while configuring the Router, but make
sure that you disable it when you are finished. With this enabled, someone
could easily obtain the SSID information with site survey software and gain
unauthorized access to your network. Click
Enable to broadcast. Click
Disable

on networked PCs .

matically, as shown in Figure 5-3, and it should be used only if your ISP
