SSID Broadcast

Your wireless clients identify and connect to your router using
the network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier). The SSID

turn SSID broadcast to Off.

WMM QoS

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a standard that defines quality of
service (QoS) in Wi-Fi networks, prioritizes capability, and
optimizes video and audio performance.

WMM QoS is forced to On (grayed out) when the Network
mode set includes 802.11n. If you select any mode not
including 802.11n, you have the option to turn WMM QoS
Off.
