Restricting Wireless Access to Your Network

By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID can access your wireless
network. For increased security, the wireless modem router provides several ways to restrict
wireless access to your network.
You can do the following:
• Turn off wireless connectivity completely.
• Restrict access based on the wireless network name (SSID).
• Restrict access based on the Wireless Card Access List.
These options are discussed in the following sections.
Turning Off Wireless Connectivity Completely
You can completely turn off the wireless connectivity of the wireless modem router by
pressing the Wireless On/Off button on the front panel of the wireless modem router. For
example, if you use your notebook computer to wirelessly connect to your wireless modem
router and you take a business trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the wireless
modem router while you are traveling. Other members of your household who use computers
connected to the wireless modem router through Ethernet cables can still use the wireless
modem router. To do this, clear the Enable Wireless Access Point check box on the
Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply.
