Setup WiFi on the Alpha ASL-26555
The last setting we strongly recommend you change is the WiFi security of your router. There are quite a few router manufacturers that like to leave the security open or disabled as the default. This means everyone within range of your network could use it with or without your permission. Change this immediately. We recommend using the security form of WPA2-PSK. We have created step-by-step instructions for you in our How to Setup WiFi on the Alpha ASL-26555 guide.
