In the first box is the SSID. Enter a new name here. It doesn't matter what you enter so long as you can recognize it later when you want to connect to your network. We recommend avoiding personal information and router specific information. Learn more in our guide about wireless names.

Below that is the Security Mode. This is the encryption you plan on using. I recommend WPA2-PSK. Want to know why? Read our WEP vs. WPA guide.

Finally you need to enter a new WPA pre-shared key. This is the password you use to access your network. Use at least 14 characters here. Find out more helpful tips in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.
