Specify Basic WiFi Settings

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.
