Using the Web-Based
Advanced User Interface
Using the Broadcast SSID Feature
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network's SSID. Doing
so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning
for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID,
remove the check mark from the box next to "Broadcast SSID", and then
click "Apply Changes". The change is immediate. Each computer now needs
to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of "ANY" will no longer
be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter
for information on making this change.
Protected Mode Switch – Protected mode ensures proper operation
of N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices on your wireless network when
802.11g or 802.11b devices are present or when there is heavy 802.11g or
802.11b traffic in the operating environment. Use protected mode if your
network consists of a mix of Belkin N1 Wireless Cards and 802.11g or
802.11b cards on your network. If you are in an environment that includes
little to no 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network traffic, you will achieve
the best N1 wireless performance with protected mode OFF. Conversely,
in an environment with HEAVY 802.11g or 802.11b traffic or interference,
you will achieve the best N1 wireless performance with protected
mode ON. This will ensure N1 wireless performance is not affected.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings – Your N1 Vision is
equipped with the latest security standard called Wi-Fi Protected
Access™ 2 (WPA2™) and the legacy security standard called Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Your N1 Vision also supports the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) specification, which simplifies the setup of a
wireless network. WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typing in
a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or pushing a button, to enable
users to automatically configure network names and strong WPA/WPA2
data encryption and authentication. By default, your N1 Vision does
not ship with security enabled. You may automatically configure the
security settings using WPS. To change the security settings manually,
you will need to determine which standard you want to use. To access
the security settings, click "Security" on the "Wireless" tab.
