Hide your network

By default, your Ovation broadcasts the Service Set Identifier (SSID). In some
operating systems, the SSID is referred to as the network name. This makes it
easy for computers in your network to find and connect to your Ovation. It also
makes it easy for computers outside of your network to find you.

Consider disabling the SSID broadcast as a final step after you have set up all
of your security settings and after all of the devices in your network are
connected and tested.

After you disable the SSID broadcast, new computers you add to your wireless
network might not be able to communicate with your Ovation. If this happens,
enable the SSID broadcast to allow the new computers to connect wirelessly.
Once the computers have connected, you can disable the SSID broadcast again.
