Disable SSID Broadcast
By default, the modem router broadcasts its Wi-Fi network name (SSID) so devices can find
it. If you change this setting to not allow the broadcast, wireless devices will not find your
modem router unless they are configured with the same SSID.

Note:
Turning off SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network discovery
feature of some products such as Windows XP, but the data is still
fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test
equipment like wireless sniffers. If you allow the broadcast, be sure
to keep wireless security enabled.

Restrict Access by MAC Address
You can enhance your network security by allowing access to only specific PCs based on
their Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so
that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the modem router. The Wireless Station
MAC address filtering adds additional security protection to the wireless security option that
you have in force. The Access list determines which wireless hardware devices are allowed
to connect to the modem router by MAC address. See

Wireless Security Options
A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The
security protocol encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices receive
authorization to connect to your network. There are several types of encryption: Wi-Fi
Protected Access II (WPA2), WPA, and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA2 is the latest
and most secure, and is recommended if your equipment supports it. WPA has several
options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption and 802.1x encryption for enterprises.
Note that it is also possible to disable wireless security. NETGEAR does not recommend this.
