This is the wifi channel page from your Belkin F9K1110 router.

There are two columns on this page, on the left is 2.4GHz and on the right is 5GHz. If you are unsure of which to fill in, we recommend using 2.4GHz. Only if all your wireless devices were made after 2012 should you use 5GHz. Older devices won't work on 5GHz.

On this page, the first thing you need to check is the Wireless Channel. You need to be on channel 1,6, or 11. There is only room in the spectrum for up to three channels that don't overlap. Overlapping channels cause a lot of interference. Sharing a channel completely does not. You need to be using channel 1,6, or 11. For more information on this topic, check out our guide titled WiFi channels.

The other setting that needs to be changed is the SSID. This is simply the name you give your wireless network. This name should not contain any personal information. If you need help with this, check out our guide titled Wireless names.

Click the Apply Changes button when you are finished. Then, on the left side of the page, click the link titled Security.

This is the wifi security page from your Belkin F9K1110 router.

On this page, use the drop down menu to choose the Security Mode you want to use. We recommend WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK). For more on why this is the most secure choice, read our guide titled WEP vs. WPA.

Below that is the Authentication. This is just narrowing down your security mode choice you made. The most secure option is WPA2-PSK.

Finally you need to change the Pre-Shared Key (PSK). This is the password you are to use when you access your network. We recommend making this a strong password, at least 20 characters. Don't use any personal information here. Don't use any words that can be found in a dictionary. However you should use some symbols, capital letters, and numbers in your password. For more information on this topic, read our guide titled Choosing a strong password.

Click the button titled Apply Changes and you are finished.

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings

After making these changes to your router you will almost definitely have to reconnect any previously connected devices. This is usually done at the device itself and not at your computer.
