• Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices
cannot connect to the WNR834M.
• Enable SSID Broadcast. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the
correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network 'discovery'
feature of some products such as Windows XP.
Note: The Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode
options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do
not change these settings.
• Wireless Card Access List. When the Trusted PCs Only radio button is selected, the
WNR834M checks the MAC address of the wireless station and only allows connections to
computers identified on the trusted computers list.
