On this new page pick SSID 1 in the Choose SSID box.

When you have finished changing your network name click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
In the left sidebar pick the option of Security under WLAN.
On this new page choose the SSID 1 option again next to Choose SSID.
Under that pick the type of Authentication Type you want to use. My recommendation is WPA2-PSK. Learn what this is in our WEP vs. WPA guide.
Next is the WPA Passphrase. It is very important that you create a strong password here. This should be no less than 14 to 20 characters. Learn how to do this in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.
Finally go ahead and change the WPA Encryption Algorithm to AES.
