Reference Manual for the Integrated ADSL Modem and Wireless Router with Voice, Model
3-8 Wireless Configuration
v1.0, September 2006
These options are discussed below.
Restricting Access to Your Network by Turning Off Wireless Connectivity
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the DG834GV. For example, if your notebook
computer is used to wirelessly connect to your router and you take a business trip, you can turn off
the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other members of your household who
use computers connected to the router via Ethernet cables will still be able to use the router.
Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The DG834GV can restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless
network name (SSID). However, by default, this feature is turned off. If you turn this feature on,
wireless devices will not ‘see’ your DG834GV. You must configure your wireless devices to
match the wireless network name (SSID) you configure in the Integrated ADSL Modem Wireless
Router with Voice.
Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Station Access List
This list determines which wireless hardware devices will be allowed to connect to the modem
router.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the DG834GV Integrated ADSL Modem Wireless Router with Voice at its default
LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password
of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up.

Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in
the Integrated ADSL Modem and Wireless Router with Voice, Model DG834GV.
If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the DG834GV.
