Hello ExpTechs,

Yes, you can disable the wireless function of the FVS318N or you can just turn off the SSID broadcast. There is this thread here where some users talked about disabling the wireless fuinction totally, you can probably get some ideas. Here's where you will change the settings of the wireless network -also has the option to totally disable it.

Click here for the reference manual, you can find the wireless configuration starting page 4.

What kind of pop-ups do you get by the way? Can you tell me a little bit more about your network diagram? How is everything connected as of the moment?

I'll look forward to your response.

Thanks,

Hello ExpTechs,

Welcome to the community!

Both of our prosafe routers FVS318N and SRXN3205 only supports Alphanumeric characters along with underscores but not spaces. However, we do have wireless access points that you can use. I have tested most of our AP's such as the WNDAP360 and I can use spaces. You may check the product specs below:

I hope this information can help you fix your issue. I'll be looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
