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.
To specify basic WiFi settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Wireless.
You can specify the settings for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz-1, and 5 GHz-2 bands.
Your router might display information that is different from this example.
5. From the Region menu, select your region.
In some locations, you cannot change this setting.
6. To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box.
When this check box is selected, the router broadcasts its network name (SSID) so that it displays when you
scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or WiFi device.
