Advanced management of AirPort Extreme card?

by Metadog1 Feb 1, 2011 11:39PM PST

Hi! I have a new MacPro with an internal AirPort Extreme card at my work. Each time I turn AirPort on, every iPad and smart phone in the area pick me up. I was looking for a way to mask or hide my SSID from being broadcast. I went to my Utilities folder and opened the "AirPort Utility" but it doesn't "see" my AirPort Extreme card. Any thoughts on what I might do next?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have your Airport

configured to create an Ad Hoc network.

Take another look at your settings for Airport.

You'll find them in the Network sections of System Preferences.

What did you want to do with the Wireless?
