Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID is used.
The SSID is your network name. The default network name of the
Router is “Belkin N Wireless” followed by six digits that are unique to
your Router. Your network name will look something like “Belkin_N_
Wireless_123456”. You can change this to anything you choose, or
you can leave it unchanged. Keep in mind, if you decide to change
your wireless network name, and there are other wireless networks
operating in your area, your network name needs to be different
from other wireless networks that may be operating in your area. To
change the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the SSID
field
(1)
and click “Apply Changes”
(2)
. The change is immediate. If
you make a change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers
may also need to be reconfigured to connect to your new network
name. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter
for information on making this change.
Note:
Please periodically check for new Router firmware updates
from the “Utilities > Firmware update” page. Newer firmware can fix
problems, add wireless features, and/or improve wireless performance
(see page 66).
