The router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), network key (password),
and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on
the router label.
Note The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and
maximize your WiFi security.
We recommend that you do not change your preset security settings. If you change your preset security settings,
make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a WiFi connection to change the SSID or other WiFi security settings, you are disconnected when you
click the Apply button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the router.
