You should now be on the page you see above.

Start by setting an SSID. This will be your network name, and can be whatever you like. However, we recommend avoiding any personal information due to security concerns. For more on network names, check out our Wireless Names Guide.

Now make sure that the Channel is set to either 1, 6, or 11. Why are these the best options? See our WiFi Channels Guide to find out.

This router version only appears to have WEP. WEP is a very out-dated form of security. Don't use WEP. We strongly recommend updating your firmware.

When you've finished making changes, don't forget to click Apply.

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.
