automatically populated in the network configuration screens. A list of SSIDs of available wireless
networks in close proximity of your home (for example, neighbors or local businesses) will
display when you or someone else in your home attempt to establish a wireless network
connection. For security purposes and quick recognition of your wireless network, ARRIS
recommends that you change the default SSID. You should also consider changing the default
wireless network password (see
Prevent Unauthorized Access
for more information).
Note
: When you change the SSID, any wireless devices that are already connected to your wireless
network will be disconnected from the network. The wireless devices will have to be reconnected to the
wireless network using the new SSID.
