Step 3
Configuring the Wireless Network
In this step you will configure the wireless network of your wireless router. Please make up a network name
for your wireless network, along with a good password. You will use the network name later to connect your
other devices to the network. If you ever want to allow other people on your wireless network, you will have
to give them the password you set in this step. Make sure you don't use a password you also use
someplace else.
The difference between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz network are not important right now. The difference will be
explained later in this manual. For now, you can give them a different name following the example in the
image below. You can use the same password for both networks.
Important! From this point on, it is advised to use the 5GHz network whenever possible. The reason for
this will be explained later in the manual. For now, it is sufficient to know that the 5GHz network usually
provides better speed and stability, while at the same time improving the wireless 'climate' for your
neighbors.
Important! Please do not name your wireless network "SNT Router", as per the example. If multiple people
in your environment also use an SNT recommended router and do the same, you can get confused by the
similarly called network names. Please use your own, original, network name.
Click Apply to save your configuration. At this point you will be shown a confirmation screen with the
settings you chose.
If you are connected wirelessly to the wireless router, you will have to connect again. You will notice the
unsecured "ASUS" network you used in Step 2 is now gone, and has been replaced with the secured
networks you just configured. Use the network name and password you just set to reconnect your router.
If you need any further help with this step, please consult the product manual that came with your router.
