To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the

displays when you scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or wireless device.

To change the SSID, type a new name in the
Name (SSID)
field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and is case-sensitive. The default SSID is
randomly generated and is on the router’s label. If you change the name, make sure to

In the
Region
list, select your region.
In some locations, you cannot change this setting.
8.
To change the wireless channel, select a number in the
Channel
list.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you
experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. NETGEAR recommends channel spacing between
adjacent access points of four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and
10).
