Enable SSID Broadcast
This option determines whether the Network name (SSID) is broadcast or not. When SSID
broadcast is turned on, PCs can see the network when they use the WLAN utility to look for a
wireless network.
Not broadcasting the SSID adds to the security of the wireless network as the network will not
be visible to the standard wireless utilities on PCs.
Do not allow the WLAN to broadcast it’s network name (SSID) *Recommended
Security Options
There are three types of encryption available to secure the WLAN. There are two variants of
WEP encryption, 64 bit and 128 bit. These use hexadecimal keys, using numbers 0-9 and
letters A-F. The 64 bit encryption uses 10 characters and the 128 bit uses 26 characters.
