iiNet Budii Lite - Hiding Ssids; Setting up a Secondary Wireless Network

17
Hiding SSIDs
Under the setup options for your Primary and Secondary SSIDs, you’ll see options to Hide them. This prevents
Budii Lite
®
from broadcasting its SSID , also known as a wireless network name.
You can disable your SSID being broadcast as an extra security feature. However, this does add a few extra steps
to the process of connecting your computers and devices to Budii Lite’s wireless network. If you choose to hide
either your primary or secondary SSID, refer to your operating system help for instructions on connecting to a
wireless network without a broadcast network name.
Setting up a secondary wireless network
Budi Lite
®
lets you set up an additional wireless network alongside the primary network that comes enabled
by default. This could be useful if, for example, you wanted to let visitors to your house use the Internet while
protecting your home computers. To set this up, enable the secondary SSID (network name) and configure the
network. Here’s how:
1. From the navigation bar on the left, click A. Set up my
wireless or E. Set up my AC wireless.
2. In the Wireless Network section, tick Enable secondary SSID.
3. Tick Hide secondary SSID if needed. See Hiding SSIDs for
more information on this option.
4. Rename the secondary wireless network if you want to,
by entering it into the text field of section 4 of Wireless
Network.
5. Click Save Settings.
