Advanced Wi-Fi Settings - Verizon 4G LTE User Manual

Advanced Wi-Fi Settings

By default, any wireless device configured with the correct Wi-Fi network name and wireless
security settings is allowed to connect to your wireless network. Use the options in the
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen to further restrict wireless access to your network.
• Turn off wireless connectivity completely:
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of your router. For example, if you are
traveling, you can turn off the wireless portion of the router but still allow other household
members who use computers to remain connected to the router with Ethernet cables. To
make this change, deselect Enable Wi-Fi Router Radio in the Advanced Wi-Fi
Settings screen and click Apply.
• Hide your Wi-Fi network name:
By default, the router is set to broadcast its Wi-Fi network name. Restrict wireless
connections to your network by not broadcasting the network name. To make this
change, deselect Enable SSID Broadcast on the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen and
click Apply. Others will not be able to see your router's wireless network, but can still
connect to your router's wireless network if their wireless settings are configured to match
the hidden Wi-Fi network name.
Note: The Wi-Fi network name of any wireless computer, smartphone, or
tablet must match the name you set in the router. If they don't match,
you won't be able to establish a wireless connection.
