Hide or broadcast the SSID for a WiFi
network
By default, a WiFi network (SSID) broadcasts its 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
access point network.
2.
Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
3. Enter the access point local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select BASIC > Wireless.
The Wireless Network page displays.
5. Select the WiFi network (Wireless 1, Wireless 2, or Wireless 3).
6. Select or clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box.
When you select the check box, the WiFi network broadcasts the SSID.
When you clear the check box, the WiFi network hides the SSID.
7. Click the Apply button.
