| | 132 | We can hide the SSID broadcast so that no one can see or identify the name of the SSID. If ssid is hidden we can make it a open network as an option without password assigned to it. Further we can change the Client IP address assignment method by enabling NAT. In NAT all clients share the AP IP address to access the internet. |

| | 150 | Once changes done you might need to forget the Network SSID before connecting it again because its settings has been changed. Once the SSID profile is removed from your client device you need add the hidden network to the client device manually because the SSID is no longer broadcasted and it's hidden. Please consult the instructors if you don't know how to forget and add a Wi-Fi network to the client device. Once connected observe IP address assigned and it should be private IP address. |
