2. Select Wireless Settings under Advanced in the main menu.

The available settings in this screen are:

• Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices

cannot connect to the WNDR3300 router. If you will not be using your wireless network

for a period of time, you can clear this check box and disable all wireless connectivity.

• Enable SSID Broadcast. Clear this check box to disable broadcast of the SSID, so that

only devices that know the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies

the wireless network discovery feature of some products such as Windows XP.

• WPS Settings. For information about these settings, see the following section, “Using

WPS Security (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).”

• Wireless Card Access List. For information about this list, see “Restricting Wireless

Access by MAC Address” on page 2-17.

Using WPS Security (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

If a wireless client supports WPS, you can use this feature to connect the wireless client securely

and easily to the router. Look for the symbol. WPS automatically specifies the network names

(SSIDs) and wireless security settings for the wireless client. After WPS is set up, the method of

security is Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) data
