Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID is used.
The SSID is your network name. The default network name of the
Router is “Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO”. Your network name will look
something like “Belkin_G Plus_MIMO_ADSL”. You can change this to
anything you choose, or you can leave it unchanged. Keep in mind, if
you decide to change your wireless network name, and there are other
wireless networks operating in your area, your network name needs to
be different from other wireless networks that may be operating in your
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
may also need to be reconfigured to connect to your new network
name. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for
information on making this change.
Note: Please periodically check for new Router firmware updates
from the “Utilities > Firmware update” page. Newer firmware can fix
problems, add wireless features, and/or improve wireless performance
(see page 51).
Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can
choose—in the United Kingdom (and most of Europe) and Australia,
there are 13. In other countries, there are other channel requirements.
Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the
country in which you reside. The channel can be changed if needed. If
there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network
should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other
wireless networks.
