Safeguarding Your Network 2-13
v1.0, May 2008
The available settings in this screen are:
• Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices
cannot connect to the WNR2000 router. If you will not be using your wireless network for
a period of time, you can clear this check box and disable all wireless connectivity.
• Enable SSID Broadcast. Clear this check box 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.
• WPS Settings. For information about these settings, see the following section, “Using
Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)” on page 2-14.
• Wireless Card Access List. For information about this list, see “Restricting Wireless
Access by MAC Address” on page 2-19.
