4. Select Setup > Wireless Setup.

5. In the Region list, select your region. In some locations, you cannot change this setting.

6. To change the network name (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 product label. If you change the name, make sure to

write down the new name and keep it in a safe place.

7. 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. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent

access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).

8. To change the mode, select it from the Wireless Mode list.

Your settings are saved.

If you connected wirelessly to the network and you changed the SSID, you are

disconnected from the network.
