Can you make the router private, as in, it won't publicly show up but you can still connect to it (since you know its there)?

No, I don't think so. The Zyxel will appear as one of the available networks

I don't think that is possible. The device transmits a wireless signal which almost by definition will be received by a wireless receiver tuned to receive in that frequency range.

Yes. According to the product manual (http://www.manualowl.com/m/ZyXEL/MWR102/Manual/352155?page=40) you can disable broadcast SSID, which would make the wireless network invisible to most ordinary connections.

Yes, it will show up in your local explorer under network/router if you attach it to the router. works as just another drive if it is attached direct.

Hello Kathy. You can block wireless access to the router's settings by accessing the router's user interface and disabling Access via Wireless. It's under Management and Local Management Access. You can also try changing the router's password (not the wireless password) to prevent attempts to access the settings using Ethernet (wired).

During the initial setup you will have to type in your SSID...But once you have finished going through the setup and KNOW your SSID and PASSWORD..You have the option of "hiding" your SSID by not broadcasting it....

My son (IT guy) installed the router for me so he could answer that. But I can tell you that it does offer the capability to turn it off and on from your computer as the router admin. I control the wi-fi access. I bought this router to put in a vacation home I rent out. I live next door to this rental, so I am always able to use the internet, but I can control from my house if the guests can use the wi-fi or not by simply clicking on the icon on my desktop, and clicking "Enable" or "Disable". It's very simple. I am not an IT person, and once he installed the router, and showed me how to control access to the wi-fi, I have not had any issues. So yes, you can turn off the wi-fi, but as far as I know, you do it through your computer.

Mike, once the device is connected it doesnt show up unless they can connect to your wifi and have a wemo app. You can grant others access within the wemo app so ther is no way someone can hit a switch unless you give them permission .

Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

mine worked fine. All I did was put in my password and I was all set. What kind of condition is your router? You also might want to look at additional settings in your system preferences.

If you have security enabled on your wifi router or just have the routers name "SSID" hidden. Take security off or unhidden the SSID and try to connect again. Mine is working fine but I had a hidden wifi name and had to unhide it to connect the first time.

Yes. It is part of the configuration. I can't remember exactly where, but once you are logged onto the device, there is a checkbox for disabling the Wi-Fi. I would think you would prefer to just buy another router. It's easier and faster and maybe more secure.

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.

1. The camera is not safe because it can only use http. If you plan to view from outside your home you have to setup port forwarding in your router.2. Yes, username "admin" and password is empty. You should change it right away.3. Yes you can change it.

After initiallizing your wifi repeater, you can hide your SSID from broadcasting. I personally found out in my unit when I did this, it would emit a weaker signal. I also recommend changing your router channel to 1 or 6 or 11 for a more stable setup.

Ugh. I was hoping I was just missing something really obvious. To connect any other devices to my network, all I've ever had to do was enter the password.UPDATE: Apparently the problem was with my router. After turning it off for the night, it worked this morning.

I don't believe there is a way to do this within the router, at least I have not found it.

Yes, I have it connected to my Router. My router connected to Modem and all other devices connected to Router.
