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 N1 Wireless” followed by six digits that are unique 
to your Router. Your network name will look something like 
“Belkin_N1_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 69).
