Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The DG834N 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 wireless modem router. You must configure your wireless
devices to match the wireless network name (SSID) you configure in the RangeMax NEXT
Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router.
Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Station Access List
This list determines which wireless hardware devices will be allowed to connect to the wireless
modem router.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the wireless modem router 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.
Warning: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure
in the DG834N RangeMax
