6.3.2 Changing the Name of a WLAN

Function Overview
If the router has hidden the SSID of a WLAN, you need to enter the SSID of the WLAN
manually when you use a PC to access the WLAN. If you enter a wrong SSID, the PC
cannot connect to the WLAN. Therefore, the security of the WLAN can be improved if
the SSID is difficult to be predicted.
An SSID consists of 1–32 American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)
characters. When the router is delivered, the SSID is preset. You can find this preset
SSID on the label on the real panel of the router. In addition, the router supports the
change of the SSID. You can change the SSID as required.
Configuration Example
If your current SSID index is SSID1 and if you have used this SSID for a certain period,
to change this SSID to MyNewSSID, do as follows:
Step 1
Log in to the Web-based configuration utility.
Step 2
In the navigation tree, choose Basic > WLAN.
The WLAN configuration page is displayed.
Step 3 Select SSID1 for SSID Index.
Step 4 In SSID, enter MyNewSSID.
