Step 7: Set the SSID

The next step in securing your network is changing its name, which is usually referred to as the service set identifier (SSID). With the DI-624, you reach this setting by clicking the Wireless button. Change the default SSID to anything you like but avoid values that an intruder might guess, such as your last name. Apply the change without exiting.


Your router may also allow you to disable SSID broadcasting, which keeps neighbors or would-be intruders from seeing your wireless network among their Wi-Fi connection choices.
