  • The first setting to change is the Network Name (SSID). This is the network ID and should be unique. While it doesn't matter what you enter here we recommend avoiding personal information. Take a look at this guide for more on the topic.
  • Below that you should see four different security options, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK. To learn what the differences are in these options, read this guide. We recommend the most secure choice of WPA2-PSK.
  • Set the WPA/WPA2 Encryption to AES.
  • The last setting that needs to be changed is called the WPA Pre-Shared Key. This is the internet password and should be strong. Use a minimum of 14 to 20 characters. Try adding some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in the password for even more strength. More ideas can be found in this guide.
  • That's it, click the Apply button and you are finished.

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.
