Changing the Setup of Your WLAN
Requiring Specified SSIDs
Some wireless devices (such as wireless network adapters) can set
their SSIDs to any, which allows them to connect to any available
Wireless Access Point or Wireless Router. In some environments,
such free access to your WLAN might be undesirable or pose
security risks.
You can limit access to your WLAN by requiring that all wireless
stations connecting to your Wireless Router use a specified SSID.
This helps prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your
WLAN.
To set your Wireless Router to accept only specified SSIDs:
1 Open the Utility and log in. (See page 22.)
2 Click Wireless (802.11) under Basic Setup on the menu list.
3 Click the Security tab.
4 Select Hide SSID in beacons & Stations can not use
“unspecified” SSID.
5 Click Save & Restart.
