ONFIGURATION
A feature of many wireless network adapters is that a computer's SSID
can be set to ANY, which means it looks randomly for any existing
wireless network. The available networks are then displayed in a site
survey, and your computer can select a network. By clicking disable, you
can block this random search, and set the computer's SSID to a specific
network (for example, WLAN). This increases network security. If you
decide to enable SSID Broadcast, ensure that you know the name of your
network first.
