For more information on this topic, read our guide titled WiFi channels.

The other setting on this page that you can change is the WLAN standard. We recommend leaving this at the default 802.11n+g+b. This is referring to the types of wireless devices you are allowing on your network. 802.11n+g+b allows for the widest range.

Next is the WLAN key. This is referring to the password you will use to access your network. We recommend creating a strong password of at least 20 characters. Avoid using any personal information in this password. You should also avoid using any words that can be found in a dictionary. We do however recommend using symbols, numbers, and capital letters if possible. To help create a strong and memorable password we've created a guide for you titled Choosing a strong password.

When you have finished, click the Apply button near the bottom of the page. That's it, you did it!

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings

After making these changes to your router you will almost definitely have to reconnect any previously connected devices. This is usually done at the device itself and not at your computer.
