WiFi Terms

Before we get started there is a little bit of background info that you should be familiar with.

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.

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.

Change the WiFi Settings on the Humax HG100R-L4

We unfortunately don't have any other information for this router. If you have this router we need your help. To learn more click this link to learn more.

I can give you an educated guess as to what the settings will be.

In an older version of this router you first must choose to turn on the primary network. If you are given an option similar to this go ahead and choose On.

Next you should have an option like Network Name (SSID). This is the name you give your network to identify it later on. Make sure this name does not have personal or router specific information in it. Learn more in our How to Change your Wireless Name guide.

After that you should be given a choice of what type of security to use. I recommend using WPA2-PSK. This is the strongest available right now. Find out why this is the best option in our guide titled WEP vs. WPA.

If asked to select a WPA/WPA2 Encryption I recommend picking AES.

The last setting you need to worry about changing is the WPA Pre-Shared Key. This is the password you use to access the Internet. I strongly recommend making this password complex. Learn how to do this in our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Don't worry about any of the other settings on this page. Before leaving this page, click the Save or Apply button to save your changes.

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.
