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.

  • A little farther down this screen you see a box titled WLAN SSID. Use this box to enter in a new name for your network. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we suggest avoiding personal information. Learn more about this topic by clicking this link.
  • Now skip down to the Encryption Type. Choose the option of WPA Personal.
  • Narrow your choice down a little with the drop-down menu titled WPA Mode. We recommend WPA2. To learn why this is our recommendation, click this link.
  • Next is the Cipher Type. Choose the option of AES.
  • The last thing you need to do is change the Pre-shared Key. This is the password you use to gain access to your network. We recommend using a minimum of 14 characters and a mix of numbers, symbols, and letters. Read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide for more information.
  • Next click the Apply button.

That's it, congratulations.
