Enable SSID Broadcast:
It allows you to enable or disable SSID broadcast. If you
select the check box to enable this feaute, the Wireless Router will periodically
broadcast its SSID, so that wireless clients can automatically find it to connect to the
Wireless Router and join the wireless network identified by the SSID. However, this
feature also makes it easier for hackers to know your SSID and break into your
WLAN. It is suggested that you disable this feature to improve security of your WLAN.
In this case, you need to manually configure the right SSID for your wireless clients.
