a wireless (usually Wi-Fi)
local network to a wired
(usually Ethernet)

WHAT IS SSID?
 Service Set IDentifier
It acts as a password when a mobile
device tries to connect to the basic
service set (BSS) -- a component of
the IEEE 802.11 WLAN
architecture.
32 alphanumeric character unique
identifier attached to the header of
packets sent over a wireless local-
area network (WLAN).
It is a case sensitive

Let us have another
method:
 Open the Wireless Settings.
Let us have another
method:
 Enter a name for your wireless network.
 Let us have another
method:
 Check the box to enable SSID broadcast. This will
essentially “turn on” the wireless network so that it may
be readily seen by anyone in range of the signal.
 Let us have another
method:
• Choose a security method. Choose from the list of
available security options. For the best security, choose
WPA2-PSK as the encryption method. This is the most
difficult security to crack, and will give you the most
protection from hackers and intruders.
 Let us have another
method:
• Create a passphrase. This should be a difficult
password, with a combination of letters, numbers, and
symbols.
 CAUTION:
Be sure to use a password to
protect your wireless network.
Unauthorized parties can easily
connect to an unprotected
network, stealing your bandwidth
as well as your personal data.
Include a combination of letters,
symbols, and numbers to build a
better password.
 Manual Configuration of the
Router
• Save your settings. The changes will be applied to
your router, which may take a few moments. Once the
router has finished resetting, your wireless network will
be enabled.

 Blocking Sites
If you want to prevent devices from
accessing certain websites, you can use
built-in blocking tools to restrict access.
These can be found in the
Security/Block section of the
router.
You can usually block by specific
domain names, or by keywords.
