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 Router is “Ativa54g”. 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, you may also need to reconfigure your wireless-equipped computers to connect to your new network name. Refer to your wireless network adapter’s documentation for information on making this change.
