SSID is randomly generated and is on the router label.) If you change the name,
make sure to write down the new name and keep it in a safe place.
6. To change a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi channel, select a channel from the Channel
menu.
The channels that are available depend on your country or region. Do not change
the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow
data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which
channel works best for your.
When you use multiple WiFi routers, access points, WiFi gateways, satellites, and
extenders in your network, you experience less interference if adjacent devices use
different channels. For example, for the 2.4 GHz radio band, we recommend a
channel spacing with a minimum of four channels between adjacent devices (for
example, use channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
7. Although the preset Default VLAN profile for the Wireless 1 network works well for
most situations, if you want to change the VLAN profile, select the VLAN Profile
check box, and select another VLAN profile from the menu.
The preset VLAN profile name is Default, the VLAN has ID 1, and the combination
is shown in the menu as Default(1).
For more information about VLANs, see Manage the VLANs on page 70, including
How the router organizes LANs, VLANs, and WLANs on page 72.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The router sends the new settings to the satellite.
If you are using a WiFi connection and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected
from the network.
9. Make sure that you can connect to the WiFi network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect using WiFi, check the following:
• Is your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi
network in your area? Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open
network without WiFi security that they discover.
• Is your computer or WiFi device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network
selection in your computer or WiFi device to match the current settings for your
network.
