WiFi Terms
Before we get started there is a little bit of background info that you should be familiar with.
Wireless Name
Your wireless network needs to have a name to uniquely identify it from other wireless networks. If you are not sure what this means we have a guide explaining what a wireless name is that you can read for more information.
Wireless Password
An important part of securing your wireless network is choosing a strong password.
Wireless Channel
Picking a WiFi channel is not always a simple task. Be sure to read about WiFi channels before making the choice.
Encryption
You should almost definitely pick WPA2 for your networks encryption. If you are unsure, be sure to read our WEP vs WPA guide first.
Login To The Dynex DX-NRUTER
To get started configuring the Dynex DX-NRUTER WiFi settings you need to login to your router. If you are already logged in you can skip this step.
To login to the Dynex DX-NRUTER, follow our Dynex DX-NRUTER Login Guide.
Find the WiFi Settings on the Dynex DX-NRUTER
If you followed our login guide above then you should see this screen.
You begin on the Status page of the Dynex DX-NRUTER router. To setup the wireless section of your router, click the link in the left sidebar labeled Channel and SSID. This is found under the blue heading of Wireless.
Change the WiFi Settings on the Dynex DX-NRUTER
On this new page the first thing you need to do is check the Wireless Channel. It needs to be on channel 1,6, or 11. These three channels don't overlap one another which causes severe interference. Read our guide for more info, WiFi Channels.
Next is the SSID. This is the name you use to identify your local network. It's not important what you enter here but we recommend avoiding personal information. To learn more, read our Wireless Names Guide.
That's all that needs to be changed. Click the blue Apply Changes when you are done.
Looking in the left sidebar, click the link titled Security.
This takes you to the page you see above.
First, change the Security Mode. There are several options here, to learn the differences, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide. We recommend WPA-PSK (no server). The 'no server' is referring to a RADIUS server which 99% of you do not have.
Next, use the Authentication drop down menu to narrow down your choice you just made. The best option here is WPA2-PSK.
The Encryption Technique is after that. AES should be chosen.
The last thing you need to change is the Pre-shared Key (PSK). This is the password you use to access your internet through your router. Be sure it is a strong password. We recommend using at least 14-20 characters with a mix of numbers, symbols, and letters. Read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide for more info.
When you are finished click the Apply Changes button.
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.
