I'm thinking where he went with ur guide. Lolz
When you tick "enable hidden wireless", the router is still broadcasting wireless signal in the sense that others which don't know the SSID unable to detect the wireless network but it still exists.
Follow what payebudu said,
Step-by-step:
1. Go to
192.168.0.12. Type in
operator as ID,
h566UniFi as password
If the id and pass above cannot be used, try these:
3. Under top "
SETUP" tab, press "
Wireless Setup" tab on the left
4. Press
Multiple Wireless Network Name Setup5. Untick the little box on the left of the
FIRST ROW or... Should I say...
UNTICK all the boxes in that page...
This should switch off it's wireless broadcasting. By the way... The antenna cannot be detached unless you break it. I think what you mean prolink router is just an adsl router for streamyx which contains only LAN port behind it in which you're connecting directly to the LAN port on your computer.In that sense, it's not a wireless router and it's generating minimal amount of emission of wave(radio wave or em wave, whatever) compared to wireless network. There's so called Wireless radiation which is said by certain people will bring negative effect to human health but the effect shouldn't be so significant. Another thing is that... I don't think your mother is sitting beside the modem all the time. She shall have kept a distance with the modem all the time right... At least my mother do so... It shouldn't bring such a big effect to anyone as wireless signal are not to say very highly powered em wave. It shouldn't bring too much harm to human body. Wondering whether your mum is having any kind of sickness. Ask her to do a body check up xD, only after you proves that it's caused by the wireless modem...
EDIT:
From wikipedia... So... it's possible~
Hi there....i do know what payebudu meant. I changed the gateway to 192.168.1.1 also. logged in with h566.... also.
what I meant with my prolink is, it's a normal wireless G router. and when I disable it's wireless, iinw it does physically switch it off. coz i feel it's not as hot as when wireless is on. and furthermore, i can just unscrew the antenna.
the reason why i'm looking for ways to reduce the power is coz I dont need the full signal strength. I just need the signal to transmit far enough through a layer of wall. my other pc is just outside the room door. My mom is always near the router as she's working from home and the router+modem+fibre cable and all goes to PC1 which is right next to her.
i was thinking, can aluminium foil block some waves? coz i've seen some ppl using aluminium foil to shape it into a bowl so they can aim the signal further.
