Hide or broadcast the SSID for a
WiFi network
By default, a WiFi network broadcasts its WiFi network name (also referred to as the
SSID) so that WiFi clients can detect the SSID in their scanned network lists. For additional
security, you can turn off the SSID broadcast and hide the SSID so that users must know
the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network.
To hide or broadcast the network name for a WiFi network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
