Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)

To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used. The default SSID of the WURE is “belkin54g”. You can change this to anything you want to or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is unique (does not match that of another wireless network in the area). To change the

SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the SSID field (1) and

click “Apply Changes” (2). The change is immediate. If you make a change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers must also be reconfigured to connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation for your wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
