Hi, I am wondering can SSID be hide?

I am currently using MN-700 as an access point with 128-
bit WEP set up. My MN-720 can automatically pick up the
SSID and ask me for a WEP Key..

I don't really like the automatic pick up of SSID as your
neighbour can then automatically pick up your SSID as well
and start hecking your WEP key.. I am wondering if there
is any way to hide the SSID so the client machines then
require to manually key in rather than automatic.

Thanks

SL

In the Base Station Management tool, click the "Wireless" menu item, then
remove the check mark from "Broadcast wireless network name (SSID)
(Recommended).

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
