Reference Manual for the RangeMax 240 Wireless Router WPNT834
4-6 Wireless Configuration
v1.0, November 2005
To configure the advanced wireless settings of your firewall, click the Wireless Setup link in the
Advanced section of the main menu of the browser interface. The Advanced Wireless Settings
menu appears, as shown below.
• Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices
cannot connect to the WPNT834.
• Enable SSID Broadcast. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the
correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’
feature of some products such as Windows XP.
• Wireless Card Access List. When the Trusted PCs Only radio button is selected, the
WPNT834 checks the MAC address of the wireless station and only allows connections to
computers identified on the trusted computers list.
