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.
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.

You should almost definitely pick WPA2 for your networks encryption. If you are unsure, be sure to read our WEP vs WPA guide first.

If you want to change the Wi-Fi name go ahead and do so in the box labeled Wi-Fi name under Main Wi-Fi. This is how you identify your network when you want to connect to it. Learn more in our wireless names guide.
Below that is the Wi-Fi password. This is used to protect your local network and help with the encryption so it's important that you create a strong and complex password here. Learn how to do this in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.
Next is the Encryption. This is the security you use to protect your local network. Check out your possible options in our WEP vs. WPA guide. We strongly recommend using WPA2 Personal AES.
We recommend leaving the frequency at 2.4GHz.
If you are interested in changing your channel you can do that on this page as well. Just use the drop down menu labeled Channel next to the frequency you chose.
That's it, when you are finished don't forget to save.

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.
