Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router MBRN3000

Wireless Station Access Control

By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID and wireless security

settings is allowed access to your wireless network. You can use Wireless Access Point

settings in the Wireless Setting screen to further restrict wireless access to your network:

• Turning off wireless connectivity completely.

You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the router. For example, if you use your

notebook computer 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 can still

use the router. To do this, clear the Enable Wireless Access Point check box on the

Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply.

• Hiding your wireless network name (SSID).

By default, the router is set to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). You can

restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name

(SSID). To do this, clear the Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID) check box on the

Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply. Wireless devices will not “see” your

router. You must configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name

(SSID) of the router.

Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID

you configure in the router. If they do not match, you will not get a

wireless connection to the router.

Router PIN The PIN number used for Push 'N' Connect.

Disable Router PIN By default, this check box is cleared. This allows the WPS clients to

discover the router’s PIN.

Keep Wireless Settings By default, this check box is cleared. This allows the router to

automatically generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings

when it implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router

automatically selects the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check

box so that your SSID and wireless security settings remain the

same if other WPS-enabled devices are added later.

Turn Access Control On Access control is disabled by default so that any computer

configured with the correct SSID can connect. See Restricting

Access by MAC Address.
