Disable welcome message on connect

Hi


it is possbile from airport extreme to sent an welcome message (i.e. Welcome to my network) to every conncet via wireless to that router. In the older configuration utility there was an menu item to change that message or disable it. But it seems in the latest version no longer to be there. How can I disable that message now? Any Ideas?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

You must use the older version of AirPort Utility to disable or change the message.


If you are using the Lion operating system now, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion.


If you are using Mountain Lion, you will need to use a utility like Pacifist to manually install AirPort Utility 5.6. See this article for more details:
