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�
Protected Mode switch
Protected mode ensures proper operation of 802�11g devices on your
G
network when 802�11b devices are present or when there is heavy

802�11b traffic in the operating environment� If you are using a mix of
Belkin G
+ MIMO
Wireless Cards and 802�11b or 802�11g cards on your
network, protected mode should be used� If you are in an environment
where there is no other (or very little) 802�11b wireless network traffic,
best 802�11g performance may be achieved with protected mode OFF�
If you are operating in an environment with HEAVY 802�11b traffic or
interference, best 802�11g performance may be achieved with protected
mode ON�
