Manage the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the
Main Network
The modem router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), network
key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory. The preset SSID and
password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and maximize your WiFi security. You can find
the preset SSID and password on the modem router label.
IMPORTANT:
If you change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and
store the note in a safe place where you can easily find it.

You can view or change the basic WiFi settings and WiFi security. The modem router simultaneously supports
the 2.4 GHz band for 802.11b/g/n devices and the 5 GHz band for 802.11a/n/ac devices.
If you do decide to change the WiFi settings of the modem router’s main network, use a
wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
