Wireless VDSL Modem Router
SSID Setup
Click SSID Setup from any Wireless screen to generate the SSID Setup screen. This
screen lets you make changes to the name of the Modem Router’s wireless network
name, as well as letting you turn off the wireless network name broadcast option.
To change the network name settings of the Modem Router’s wireless network (if
needed; you do not need to make all the changes in this procedure; they can be
changed independently of each other):
If needed, change the name of the Modem Router’s wireless network by select-
1.
ing a new one from the SSID drop-down list. Otherwise, use the one already
selected. You should write this name down, so that you can refer back to it later,
when connecting other wireless devices (such as smartphones or laptop com-
puters) to the Modem Router’s wireless network.
Click the Broadcast SSID radio button to activate SSID broadcasting, which
2.
allows any computer searching for available wireless networks to detect this net-
work (however, if this network is protected with some form of wireless security,
they will not be able to join the network unless they know the security pass-
word). Clicking “Hide SSID” turns off SSID broadcasting.
If you want to have a custom name for your wireless network, enter it in the
3.
Network Name text box under step 3.
Click

Apply.
