Change your SSID and Password SSID stands for service set identification number. Every wireless network, from large corporate systems to simple home setups, contains a SSID. SSID is your networks digital name. First, change your SSID number and password from the default setting into something private and strong. Never keep the default SSID active. To change the SSID and your network password, launch the software for your wireless hardware.
You should be able to change your SSID within the program’s control panel. Overwriting the default SSID won’t do you much good if your network name is broadcasted to all users in your area. You can keep your information private to all users around your area by disabling the SSID broadcast. It’s as simple as ticking a box from your modem control panel.
