Linksys E-Series
Network Name )SSID( The Service Set Identifier )SSID( is a name used by
devices to connect to a wireless network. SSIDs are case-sensitive and must
not exceed 32 characters. The default SSIDs for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks
are LinksysXXXX and LinksysXXXX_5GHz, respectively. The Xs represent the last
five digits of the router's serial number, which can be found on the bottom
of the router. If you changed the SSID in the Linksys Connect setup software,
both bands have the new SSID. You may give them different names through
the browser-based utility. If you do so, and use Linksys Connect again, it will
make both SSIDs the same )the most recent entered in Linksys Connect(.
Note
If you restore the router's factory default settings )by pressing
the Reset button or using the Administration > Factory Defaults
screen(, the Network Name will return to its default value. Change
the Network Name back to its original name, or you will have
to reconnect all devices on your wireless network to the new
network name.
