WiFi Terms

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

Wireless Name

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.

Encryption

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

You are now able to configure your wireless settings. The first thing that needs changing is titled livebox name (SSID). This is the network ID and should be unique. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we suggest avoiding personal information. Take a look at our Wireless Names Guide for more on this topic.

Now skip down to the Channel. Make sure you are using channels 1,6, or 11 for the best reception. Learn more about channels in our WiFi Channels Guide.

Next is the Security key. This is the password you use to access your wireless network. Try to use a minimum of 14 to 20 characters. Mix in some symbols, numbers, and capital letters to strengthen it even farther. Read all about passwords in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Then locate the Security mode. This is the security you will use to guard against attack. We recommend the strongest, WPA2-PSK (AES). Find out why in our WEP vs. WPA.

Please read our guide on What is WPS then uncheck the box labeled Enable WPS Pairing.

Click Save when you are finished making these 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.
