Field Description
SSID Broadcast
SSID (Service Set Identifier). Broadcasts the
SSID of the Wireless Ethernet Bridge to
devices on your network. This option can only
be disabled when Ad-Hoc is selected from
Network Type on the Basic screen.
The SSID Broadcast allows wireless clients,
like a laptop computer, to receive the Wireless
Ethernet Bridge's SSID and then join the Ad-
Hoc network.
If you don't want the SSID to be broadcast,
disable this feature.
The default is enabled.
