4. Select Wireless. AC1750 Smart WiFi Router 5. In the Region menu, select your region. In some locations, you cannot change this setting. 6. To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box. When this check box is selected, the router broadcasts its network name (SSID) so that it displays when you scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or wireless device. 7. To change the SSID, type a new name in the Name (SSID) field. The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly generated and is on the router's label. If you change the name, make sure to write down the new name and keep it in a safe place. 8. To change the wireless channel, select a number in the Channel menu. 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). 9. To change the mode, select it from the Mode menu. For 2.4 GHz, Up to 450 Mbps is the default setting. For 5 GHz, Up to 1300 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.11ac and 802.11a wireless devices to join the network. 10.
