Using the Broadcast SSID Feature

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. For
security, you can choose not to broadcast your network's SSID. Doing so will
keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the
presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the
check mark from the box next to "Broadcast SSID", and then click "Apply
Changes". The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to
connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of "ANY" will no longer be accepted.
Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on
making this change.
