Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), network key (password),
and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.You can find the preset SSID and password on
the router label.
The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and
maximize your wireless security.
Note
We recommend that you do not change your preset security settings.
If you change your preset security settings,
make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place where you can easily find it.
If your computer is connected with WiFi when you change the SSID or other WiFi security settings, you are
disconnected when you click the
Apply
button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to
access the router.
To specify basic WiFi settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.

Type
.
A login window opens.

menu, select your region.
In some locations, you cannot change this setting.
6.
To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast
check box.
When this check box is selected, the router broadcasts its network name (SSID) so that it displays when you
scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or wireless device.
7.
To change the network name (SSID), type a new name in the
Name (SSID)
field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive.The default SSID is randomly generated and
is on the router’s label. If you change the name, make sure to write down the new name and keep it in a safe
place
.
8.
To change the wireless channel, select a number from the
Channel
menu.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you experience interference
(shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see
which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different channels to reduce
interference.The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is four channels (for example,
use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).

If you connected wirelessly to the network and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected from the network.

Make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:
•
Is your computer or wireless device connected to another wireless network in your area? Some wireless
devices automatically connect to the first open network without wireless security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed
the settings)? If so, update the wireless network selection in your computer or wireless device to match the
current settings for your network.
