Basic Wireless Settings

Clicking on the header of the “Basic Wireless Settings” tab will take you to the “Basic Wireless Settings”

page. There are options that allow you to make changes to the Wi-Fi wireless network settings

.

4.1.1

Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)

To identify your wireless network, SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used. You can change the SSID to

anything you want, or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless networks operating in your

area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is unique to avoid interference. To change the SSID, type in

the SSID name that you want to use in the “SSID” field and click “Apply”. The change is immediate. If you

make a change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to be able

to connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for

information on making this change.
