SSID broadcast
If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SE366 WLAN will send the SSID
with all data transmissions and your Gigaset SE366 WLAN's SSID will be displayed on PCs
that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, eavesdroppers could use the SSID to
gain access to your local network.
If you disable SSID broadcast, your Gigaset SE366 WLAN's SSID will not be displayed.
This increases protection against unauthorised access to your wireless network. How-
ever, you must make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log in to your PC.
