To change the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless password:

You can change the default ones by directly entering new ones in the field. SSID is up to 32 characters, and the value in both SSID and password is case-sensitive.

Note:

1) Remember to write down the new SSID and password, for you may be disconnected when new settings are effective.

2) Select Hide SSID, and your SSID will not broadcast. It won’t display when you scan for local wireless network list on your wireless device and you need to manually join the network.
