The first section is titled WPS Setup. Do not use WPS if possible. Take a look at this guide to learn more.

Scroll down to the heading of Manual Setup AP.

In this section, first use the Select SSID drop down list to choose the SSID you just created on the previous page.

Below that is the Network Authentication. We strongly recommend using WPA2 PSK. If you are interested learning why, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide.

Now locate the Passphrase or possibly the WPA/WAPI passphrase. This is the network password and should be strong. We recommend using a minimum of 14 to 20 characters. Try adding some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in to make this password even stronger. More ideas can be found in our Password Guide.

Once that is finished, click the Apply/Save button near the bottom of the page.

Congratulations, you did it!

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings
