advanced Tools & settings

After the initial setup is complete, you have the option to 

change settings like your network name, security type, and 

password. To make these changes and others, click on the 

Advanced Tools icon at the CD Setup menu and select one 

of the following settings that you would like to change:

network name & security – Personalize your network name 

(SSID), password, and strength of wireless security.

Internet service Provider & login settings – Have 

you moved or changed Internet Service Providers? 

If you’d like to change these settings without running 

through the setup process again, this is the place.
