Restricting Access to Your Network by Turning Off Wireless Connectivity
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the DG834PN. For example, if your notebook
computer is used to wirelessly connect to your router and you take a business trip, you can turn off
the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other members of your household who
use computers connected to the router via Ethernet cables will still be able to use the router.
Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The DG834PN can restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless
network name (SSID). However, by default, this feature is turned off. If you turn this feature on,
wireless devices will not 'see' your DG834PN. You must configure your wireless devices to match
the wireless network name (SSID) you configure in the DG834PN RangeMax ADSL Modem
Wireless Router.
Warning: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure
in the DG834PN 108 Mbps RangeMax
they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the DG834PN.
Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Station Access List
This list determines which wireless hardware devices will be allowed to connect to the firewall.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the DG834PN firewall at its default LAN address of
default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN
address and password you have set up.
