If the Wi-Fi client network adapter is not by Intel, select a configuration with
minimal power savings (to maximize throughput).
Note: The above settings are often controlled by 3rd-party value-add applications and may
be automatically changed. If Wi-Fi performance improves for a while after performing the
above steps, but then declines, recheck the above settings.
Security Tips
• Change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password on a regular
basis. See "SSID (Wi-Fi Network Name)" on page 84 and "Wi-Fi Password"
on page 87
• Disable SSID Broadcast. See "Network Panel" on page 82.
• Use the highest level of Wi-Fi security that your devices support. See "Wi-Fi
Security" on page 86.
• Change the login password. See "Changing the Administrator Password" on
page 75.
• Use MAC filtering to specify computers that are or aren't allowed to connect
to the network. See "MAC Filter Panel" on page 83.
Finding the MAC Address
You'll need to know the MAC address of a device, when performing any of the
following:
• Assigning an IP address based on a MAC address (when using DHCP). See
"DHCP Static IP Assignment List" on page 97.
• Allowing or denying computers access to the network. See "Allowing or
Denying Computers Access to the Network" on page 88.
Tip: You can display a list of connected devices, including the MAC address of each
device: click List of connected devices, available from Advanced settings > Wi-Fi
>MACFilter and Advanced settings > Wi-Fi > Network.
The steps to finding the MAC address of a device vary, depending on your
operating system.
