Now skip down to the Multiple SSIDs Settings section. In the box labeled SSID Number choose 1. Then in the box labeled SSID enter a new name for your network. This name can be anything you like, but remember it is visible to others. Learn more about this topic in our wireless names guide.
Right below that is the Authentication Type. Our recommendation is WPA2-PSK. Find out why in our WEP vs. WPA guide.
The section under that is titled WPA2-PSK. In this section make sure the Encryption is set to AES. Then right below that in the box labeled Pre-Shared Key enter a strong password for your Internet.
