Specify Basic WiFi Settings

The modem 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 modem router label. The preset
SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to maximize your WiFi security.
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 computer to change the WiFi network name (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 modem router.
To specify basic WiFi settings:

1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is
connected to the network.
2. Type http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem 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.
5. From the Region menu, select your region.
In some locations, you cannot change this setting.
