 With the modem turned OFF, my listing no longer shows in the list of wifi's around me.  I am going by my MAC ADDRESS and with power ON its there,  power OFF its not.  I see numerous other wifi's around me not broadcasting SSID and others that are.  In the screen shot below it shows all wifi's I am detecting(mine has the MAC blocked out purposely).  With the modem OFF the screen shot would be identical except that my listing within it is no longer there.  In this screen shot you can see two other wifi's that are broadcasting the Company/Manufacturer name( NETGEAR modem and a 2WIRE).
