SSID Broadcast
To prevent unknown users from associating with the Router’s network (by using
“ANY” as an SSID, for example), disable the Router’s SSID broadcast by clicking in
the circle next to “Disable.”
802.11b/g Mode
Access to the Router’s network can be restricted to wireless clients using either the
802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters. Click on the down arrow next to the text box
and select the desired option. Actiontec recommends using the “Mixed” mode (the
default option), which enables both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients to join the
network.
