Mastering your WiFi network at your fingertips
In this chapter, you will learn how to personalize your WiFi network and secure it against unwelcome intrusion
attempts.
Configuration of your network is carried out via the Ethernet cable connecting your modem router to
your computer. Once you have finished, you can disconnect this cable and explore all the subtleties of WiFi,
described in chapter
4. Welcome to the Wireless Attitude
TM
!

Personalizing your WiFi network
When the wireless access point (your Hercules Modem Router’s WiFi function) is enabled, WiFi Manager
displays the name of your network, the Radio Frequency (RF) channel used and the radio transmission power.
These settings may be modified, under certain conditions.
Should you decide to modify certain settings, we recommend that you take care to follow the
recommendations below.
To personalize your WiFi network:
- On the Home page, select
Your WiFi connection
parameters.
The name of your network, the RF channel used,
and the transmission power are displayed.
- Before personalizing your WiFi network, verify that
the
WiFi network enabled box is ticked.
- If you wish, you may personalize
The name of
your network, or SSID (Hercules, by default).
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the unique
name shared by the WiFi adapters and the access
point in a wireless network.
Make sure that you
do not lose or forget this name
, as you will need
it to connect your WiFi devices.
- If necessary, change the
Radio Frequency (RF)
channel used by the local area WiFi network to
communicate (from 1 to 13).
Change this setting
only if
another transmitter is
using the same channel, which may result in a drop
in your modem router’s WiFi performance.
- Modify the
radio transmission power (from 0 to
100%) so that your network only transmits over the
required distance (within your house or apartment,
for example).
- Click the
Apply and Save button to validate your
settings.
