MN-500 SSID Broadcasting

I would like to make my MN-500 Base Station to be more secure and want to
disable the SSID broadcasting so that Windows will not automatically discover
the wireless access point. I have done this with a Linksys and DLink router,
but I am trying to do this with the Microsoft router but cannot discover how
to disable the broadcasting. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

You'll need to update the firmware to get this option.

The latest firmware update for the MN-500 can be found here
