Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings. From
this tab you can make changes to the wireless network name or Service Set
Identifier (SSID), operating channel, encryption security settings, and configure
the Router to be used as an access point.
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_XXXXXX”;
the XXXXXX represent six digits that are unique to your Router. Your network
name will look something like “Belkin_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.
