Set Your Own SSID Home Network Name and Passphrase

Before you connect a wireless device to your Xplore Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit,
we recommend that you first change the default Xplore SSID Name and
WPA Passphrase (listed as WLAN Security on the sticker) (See Record Your
Xplore Whole Home Wi-Fi GUI Password, Page 6) to your own Name and
Passphrase. The SSID is the unique name of your Home Network that you
look for whenever you want to connect a wireless device to the Internet.

What is the SSID?

Your Xplore Whole Home Wi-Fi Unit uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels
that send and receive signals to and from your wireless devices. These
two channels make up your Home Network. The SSID (Service Set
Identifier) is the technical term for the Network names given for these
two channels.
To connect to the Internet, your wireless device scans for your SSID
(Network) name which appears in the Networks list of your wireless
device's Wi-Fi Settings. You complete the connection to your
Network by selecting one of the SSIDs from the list. For example, a
default Xplore SSID name could appear as XCI_a2fdfxv5-5G. The 2.4
and 5 GHz SSID entries in the GUI are the security settings for your two
Network channels.
