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.

Change the WiFi Settings on the Telewell TW-EA510
On this page there are only two settings to worry about. The first is the ESSID. This is the network name and should be unique to you. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we recommend avoiding personal information.Check out this guide for more on the topic.
Next is the Channel ID. All you need to do here is check to see if you are using channels 1,6, or 11. Find out why in our WiFi Channels Guide.
Hit the Apply button before continuing. Then back in the left sidebar click Wireless Security.
First, use the Security Mode drop down list to choose the option of WPA2. This is the most secure option available. Read this guide to learn more.
Then set the WPA Algorithm to AES.
The last setting is titled WPA Shared Key. This is the internet password. It is important to have a password protecting your network. The security is useless without a password. Go ahead and create a strong password of at least 14 to 20 characters. More ideas on choosing a strong password can be found in this guide.
That's it, just click the 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.
