I see a wireless router that has no security, nothing. It bothers my family to use wireless now because of this.

Is there a way to not see this vulnerable broadcasting wireless router without disabling our wireless internet ?
As stated elsewhere in this forum, not seeing another router / WAP is easily done.
•Make sure that your WAP is set to broadcast the SSID.
•Change the SSID to be unique (but not something that can easily identify you).
•In your wireless client, set that SSID as preferred.
•In your wireless client, set to connect only to preferred access points.
That's great. Thanks !


My pleasure. Stop by any time!
