NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B User Manual . Figure 2-4 Turning Off the Broadcast of Your Wireless Network Name These additional security-related wireless features, that you can disable for additional security, are described below. For details on the configuration of the general wireless settings, see "Configuring Wireless Settings" on page 1-10. • Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices cannot connect to the WNR834B. If you will not be using your wireless network for a period of time, you can deselect this checkbox and disable all wireless connectivity. • Enable SSID Broadcast. Deselect this checkbox to disable broadcast of the SSID, so that only devices that know 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 a Wireless Card Access List is configured and enabled, the WNR834B checks the MAC address of any wireless device attempting a connection, and only allows connections to computers identified on the trusted computers list.
