Turn OFF the Broadcast of SSID Name?

My router allows me to turn off the broadcast of SSID Name.
How do I turn OFF my Airport SSID?

Disabling the broadcast of SSID gives you a false sense of security. The SSID is still broadcast between the base station and any connected clients. Therefore the SSID is easily discovered.
Disabling the broadcast of SSID only succeeds in making troubleshooting more difficult.
If you want to secure your network use WPA wireless encryption with a non-dictionary password.

  • WRT150N - Is is possible to turn off the radio transmission?

    Hi all,
    I have a WRT150N. I currently use it as a router, accessing the Internet through a cable, not the wireless radio signal.
    I would like to turn the wireless radio signal off because the radio interferes slightly with my Plantronics CT12 headset phone.
    Is there a way to completely turn off the broadcast of the radio signal?
    I did set the Wireless Network Mode to "disabled", but I have read elsewhere on this forum that this does NOT disable the broadcast of the radio signal.
    I would be grateful for any help.
    Thanks much,
    Warren

    You need to have to disable the wireless broadcast ... for the router .... you can change the wireless channel on it
    Radio Band - 40Mhz
    Wide Channel - 6
    Standard Channel - 8 ...
    Click save settings ...
    Again check that the issue occurs or not ....

  • This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

    This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
    The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
    Please help me!

    If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

  • How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call.

    How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call before the ring tone starts?  I have a LG accolade

    I recommend checking your  prompts and alerts to turn this feature off. This may be you "Call Connect" or "Readout" alerts. Listed below are steps to update this feature. 
    With the flip open, press the Voice Command Key (on the left side of the phone).The Voice Commands feature has several settings which allow you to customize how you want to use it. Access Voice Commands, then press the Right Soft Key[Settings]. Your choices are below:
    -Confirm Choices--- Automatic/Always Confirm/ Never Confirm
    -Sensitivity--- Control the sensitivity as More Sensitive/ Automatic/Less Sensitive
    -Adapt Voice ---If the phone often asks you to repeat voice command,train the phone to recognize your voice patterns.Train Words/ Train Digits
    Prompts ---Mode/ Audio Playback/Timeout
    * For Mode, set Prompts/ Readout+ Alerts/ Readout/ Tones Only.
    * For Audio Playback, set Speakerphone or Earpiece.
    * For Timeout, set 5 seconds or 10seconds.

  • How do I turn off the metronome in my final mix?

    I used Garage Band to record a live interview that I want to broadcast on my radio show. Unbeknowst to me, a click track was running during the recording. Now the track has an obnoxious click track running behind the vocal. I have turned off the metronome but it still keeps ticking away. Obviously I do not want this click track running behind the interview on the radio. How do I get the metronome to turn off in my final mix?

    If the metronome got recorded on your track from a mic with it coming out of your speakers (the only way it could have been recorded) there's no way to take it out. When you say you turned it off, did you just uncheck it in the control menu? Or did you go to the preferences and change its behavior there? I have mine set for recording only, not on playback. But if you turned it off in the control menu, then it should not be present, unless you inadvertently recorded it from your speakers as I described, and it is not going anywhere. This is one reason it is best to monitor your recording with headphones and not speakers, since anything that comes out of them will be recorded with a live mic close by.

  • How can I turn off the images of avatars that post...

    how can I turn off the images of avatars that post in this forum? they are annoying.

    I think the avatar pictures help a lot to visually tell apart the different users participating. Pictures are way quicker to discern than user names are.
    Do you want them removed because they distract you or you find certain ones disturbing (You can easily flag those to the moderation team)?

  • How do I turn-off the CSS rule dialog?

    I would  like to know how to turn-off the CSS rule dialog.
    I support a user who has been using DreamWeaver for years and was recently forced to upgrade to the new version. None of the hundreds of files in the site he maintains use CSS. While I recognize it is a "better" and "more efficient" way to do things --- IF you're a sofware engineer -- it is not even close to being worth the cost to revise the entire site and retrain this user.
    So, how can i turn off, not just the pop-up, but how I can tell DW to just go ahead and do it the old-fashioned, embedded in the HTML way of doing things?
    All the user wants to do is change the color of some keywords, css is overkill when that's all he's doing.
    We'd go back to the previous version except the office was forced onto Vista and the older version won't run.

    ADDING  FONT  TAGS:
    By David Powers from the help doc:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7ce ba.html
    You won't see anywhere to enter such information in the HTML Property inspector. Dreamweaver CS4 does not support <font> tags, except in Code view. The W3C deprecated <font> tags ten years ago, so CS4 decided to get rid of them from the main user interface.
    If you want to add styles to a short selection of text, you have two options:
    1. Create embedded styles in the <head> of the page.
    2. Create inline styles.
    Both are done using the Property inspector in CSS mode (click the CSS button on the left). Select the text you want to style. How and where the style is created depends on what you select in the Targeted Rule field.
    If you select <New CSS Rule>, you can then select the font, size, or colour in the Property inspector. As soon as you choose one of these, you will be prompted to choose a class name, and the location of the new style. To embed the style in the <head> of the page,  select "This document only".
    The name of the class will appear in the Targeted Rule field, and you can add other values to it.
    If you select <New Inline Style> in the Targeted Rule field, you can apply any of the properties in the Property inspector. This wraps your text selection with a <span> tag that contains the CSS properties as an inline style, e.g., <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; font-size: 24px;">Styled text</span>.

    Note:   If you select text in Code view, you can apply font tags by selecting Format > Font from the main menu. This works only in Code view; selecting Format > Font in Design view launches the New CSS Rule dialog box.

  • How to turn off the authorization checks for a object in infoproviders?

    Hi - how can I turn off the authorization check for an object (ex: 0orgunit) in infoproviders?
    I have 0orgunit as an authorization-relevant object and is used in one of the cubes. When reports are run for this cube, this is causing authorization issues. The object is present in other cubes also but I have to remove or turn off the authorization check of this cube alone. How to do this? Please help.
    Thanks,
    Raj.

    Hi Raj,
    Srinivas, is right , however in BI7 the correct transaction is RSECADMIN and not RSADMIN.
    In BW3.5, use RSSM transaction to do thins.
    OR
    Go to transaction RSECAUTH ---> Choose  the authorization object that has been created for org unit(and has been assigned to the user). Go to change mode. Remove the cube from the dimension 0TCAIPROV
    If you are using old authorization concept in 3.5 or in 7.0
    Go to RSSM. In the checks for infoprovider, enter your infoprovider name. Choose change.Here you will see a checkbox to switch off the authorization.
    Hope this helps you,
    Best regards,
    Sunmit.

  • Is it possible to turn off the icon Preview function?

    Hi all-
    Is there a way to turn off the icon Preview function in OS X?
    It’s particularly annoying especially when I open a folder with video clips in it and the Finder whirrs away trying to give a Preview for each file. It wouldn’t be so bad if the Finder remembered the icon, but everytime you open the folder it goes through the same process again! Plus, unless you’re using giant icons you can’t see what the preview is showing you anyway! I’m quite happy to have the ‘generic’ icon and allow the file name to tell me what the item is!
    Many thanks!

    OMG! I can’t believe it’s such a simple answer! Ha ha! I’ve been using Macs for years and never thought to look at the Views menu! (Hangs head in shame)
    Thanks!

  • How can I turn off the password remember question?

    How can I turn off the password remember question?  I never use this option on my laptop, as that would not be secure.  And on sites with their own "stay logged in" feature, Safari's password memory sometimes interferes.  Is there any way to stop Safari from asking me if I want to remember passwords, or am I stuck saying Never for this Site on every site I visit?

    Password autofill can be secure or insecure, depending on how you use the computer, but if you want to disable it, select from the menu bar
    Safari > Preferences > AutoFill
    and uncheck the box marked User names and passwords.

  • How can I turn off the FileVault?

    How can I turn off the FileVault? It keeps saying 'Encryption paused', even I connected the power adapter.
    What impacts does it have on my Macbook Pro if I cannot turn off the FileVault?
    Thank you!

    If you don't already have a current backup of all data, back up before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
    Then, from the menu bar, select
              File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
    Enter the password again.
    You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
    If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
              Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    from the Format menu.
    You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
    Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

  • Enhancement: Ability to turn off the "Show More"

    I like the idea of the "Show More" when there are lots of tables/views/packages/etc., but the way it defaults to showing the first stuff alphabetically means that all the tables I want are almost always under the "Show More" link. Is there any way to turn off the "Show More" idea or for it to remember what setting I had for that schema/object from last time I had opened Raptor?

    To me, that is more of an issue that Raptor replaces the page opened for the object with the next object opened (if you don't pin the first page - is there a preference to auto-pin, because I haven't seen one?). If you have hundreds of tables of the same time, showing all of them does not make it easier to find them in the Connection pane.
    To get three or four tables with different names available to look at, it is easy to filter for the first, open it, pin it, filter for the second, open it, pin it, etc. You then have the tables you want to look at as tabs in the right hand side of Raptor.
    Yes, this is a pain if you always have the same three or four tables open, as only the last filter is remembered, so it would be nicer to have ORs in the filters (ie table name like CUSTOMER% or ORDER%).

  • Turning off the album wall?

    Is it possible to turn off the album wall on a fifth generation iPod touch? I already turned off the shuffle setting, but everytime I move around (I use my iPod while I jog) that album wall thing comes up and I end up hitting something and it changes my song. I wondered if there was a way to disable it, but I've gone through the settings and can't find anything that makes it go away.

    Hi
    It seems you are doing something wrong. Follow the below mentioned steps:
    1. Create Properties workbook with APP_ID set to system and PROP_ID set to system.single_language
    2. Log in as enterprise user, go to import data ans select Properties workbook. Select Object Type as Property MetaData.
    3. Once the object is successfully imported log in as system manager
    4. Go to system Properties, click New.
    5. In Set, select system and in Name select property system.single_language
    6. Set Value as True, save.
    This would work fine for you.
