Greetings!

I am new to the forum and thanks in advance to such a valuable resource!
Here is my question. We have an Airport Extreme Base station as the hub for our wireless network in our condo. It works perfectly allowing both Annie and myself a wireless connection on our Powerbooks. However, the other residents in the complex can pick up our network. One of them has mentioned something about an SSID being broadcast.
I know I can configure my Airport Base station not to broadcast. I am using WEP 128 security and have poked around the Airport Admin application but am not sure how to configure the unit. I would like not to have my network available to others!

Thanks in advance for any help.

On the "Airport" front page (first Tab) of Airport Admin Security there is a box to tick that will create a closed network. If you tick this anyone wanting to join will need to know the name of the network. So tick the box and change the name of the wireless network.
