WiFi Network Name and Password

The preassigned WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network 
key) are unique to your router, like a serial number. Because the router 
automatically uses WiFi security, you don’t need to set it up. The WiFi 
settings are on the label on the router.

We recommend that you use the preassigned WiFi settings because you 
can check the label if you forget them. You can also log in to the router to 
change these settings. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings and 
store them in a safe place.

You can write the WiFi settings from the label on your router in this space 
for easy reference. If you change the WiFi settings, write the new settings 
here for easy reference and store this booklet in a safe place.
