clients. WLAN clients using this broadcast SSID or using an empty SSID can join the
SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
• To enhance the security of your connection, it is possible to select “only stations
with the correct Network name (SSID) can connect”.
Note When you enable this option, the SSID will not be broadcast.
Depending on your wireless client, the SpeedTouch™ wireless
network will no longer be visible in the list of available networks.
