  • SSID - This is the name for your network. We recommend avoiding the default SSID. Do not use the name of the router in your name. This hints at the type of settings you may have on your router. Do not use personal information in the name either. This potentially tells the hacker who you are and is never a good idea. Learn more about this in our Wireless Names Guide.
  • SSID Broadcast - It doesn't matter what you do here. I, personally, would leave it marked. Hiding your SSID means you need to know your SSID and could prove difficult if you forget. Also a hacker intent on finding hidden networks can still find them with the right tools. In my opinion the cons outweigh the pros.
  • Channel - We recommend using channels 1,6, or 11. To learn why read our WiFi Channels Guide.
  • Security - The most up-to-date option is not available for this version of your router. We recommend updating your firmware version to allow for WPA2. Click this link to learn why.
  • WPA type - Set this to Phassphrase.
  • Passphrase - This is the internet password and should be set as strong as possible. We suggest a minimum of 14-20 characters. Try and substitute some of your letters for numbers, symbols, and capital letters. Click this link to learn more about this.
  • Encryption - This should be set to AES for the best encryption available today.
  • WPS - Click the Deactivate button to the right of this. WPS is vulnerable to attack. Read our What is WPS Guide for more information.
  • Registration mode - Most likely you won't have this option after deactivating the WPS. If you are still given the option here, choose Push Button it is stronger than the Pin number, which can be cracked very quickly.
  • Apply - This saves 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.
