Configuring WLAN Settings
(Name) SSID: Enter a name for your wireless local
area network (WLAN).
• The service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a
WLAN. A PC and the wireless device can perform
normal data communication only when they have the
same SSIDs. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use
the default SSID. You can enter a character string as
the SSID, such as MyHome.
SSID Broadcast: Enable or disable the SSID
broadcast.
• Enabled: The device broadcasts the SSID of the
WLAN and users can easily access the WLAN. In this
case, unauthorized users can also access the WLAN
because the SSID is broadcasted.
• Disabled: The device does not broadcast the SSID of
the WLAN. Before accessing the WLAN, a user must
obtain the SSID of the WLAN. In this case, the WLAN
security is improved.
Note
For the convenience of users accessing the
WLAN, you can select Enabled for SSID
Broadcast when you configure the WLAN
