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 WiFi 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).
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you connected to the WiFi network and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected from the network.
10. Make sure that you can use WiFi to connect to the network's new new settings.
If you cannot connect with WiFi, check the following:
Is your computer or WiFi device connected to another WiFi network in your area? Some WiFi devices
automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.
Is your computer or WiFi device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed
the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network selection in your computer or WiFi device to match the current
settings for your network.
Change the WiFi Password or Security Level
Your router comes with preset WPA2 or WPA security. The password that you enter to connect to your network is
unique to your router and is on the router label.We recommend that you use the preset security, but you can change
the settings. Do not disable security.
To change the WPA settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin.The default password is password.The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Wireless.
The Wireless Setup page displays.
