Enable SSID
Broadcast
By default, the modem router broadcasts its SSID so WiFi stations can detect the WiFi
name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. To turn of
f the SSID broadcast, clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast check box. Turning off the SSID broadcast provides additional
WiFi security, but users must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network of the
modem router.
Enable Wireless
Isolation
By default, the modem router allows communication between WiFi clients that are
connected to its WiFi network. Enabling wireless isolation might be a useful security
measure if you use the modem router for a hotspot or other public WiFi network.
To
enable wireless isolation, select the Enable W
ireless Isolation check box.
Name (SSID) The SSID is the WiFi network name. If you did not change the SSID, the default SSID
displays.
The default SSID is also printed on the product label (see Bottom Panel Product
Label on page 10
).
Note: NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the default SSID. If you must
change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this field.
Region From the Region menu, select the region in which you use the modem router.
Note: In some locations, you cannot change the setting in the Region menu.
