Not able to access setup page to change my SSID

In general, you have to use a PC to connect to the router with a LAN cable and then use the CD that comes with the router to access the setup page. Username (SSID) and password can be accessed and changed from there.

The wireless settings that you need to take note of are:
a. SSID - this is the name of your wireless network
b. SSID Broadcast - an indication if your SSID is showing on the list of networks available
c. Wireless Security - serves as the password for your wireless network

To check the wireless settings on the Linksys router, follow the steps below.
Checking the Wireless Settings on the Linksys Router

You can change the wireless name (SSID) and the wireless password by accessing the setup page. To access the setup page, do the following;

Open internet explorer or firefox and type in 192.168.0.1. It will ask for username and password. In the username field, type "Admin" , A in Admin should be a big letter. In the password field , don't type anything. Hit enter in yout keyboard and you will see the set-up page. In the set-up, look at the right side and click Wireless Settings and you will see Wireless Network Name (Also called the SSID) , and change that. Under Wireless Security Mode, change the wireless password or Passphrase.

Locking the router can be done by setting a WEP key. Its a 10 digit alphanumeric key that you can set. Once you set it up, anyone who tries to access your router wirelessly will be prompted for that 10 digit key. Be sure to change your SSID (wireless network name) also so that you can distinguish your own secured wireless network from others.

SSID can be changed on the main setup page.

1. To access it, open Internet explorer while your computer is physically connected to the router.

2. Type http:\\192.168.1.1 (the default IP address of the router.) It will ask you for the username and password.

3. Enter the word "admin" for both username and password. It is the factory default username and password. On the main setup page, you will find the field for SSID or Network name.

4. Type your unique wireless network name and click the Save button on the bottom of the page.

5. On the router's web-based setup page, click the Wireless tab then click the Wireless Security sub-tab

6. Click the drop-down arrow for Security Mode and select WEP.

7. Under WEP Encryption select 64 bits 10 hex digits.

8. Enter a unique word in the Passphrase field, then click Generate.

9. The result will be a string of letters and numbers displayed in the space provided for Key 1.

NOTE: Take note of what is in Key 1. This key will serve as the wireless security password. Keep this key confidential.

10. Click the Save Settings button.


From now on, whenever anyone tries to access your wireless network, they need to enter Key 1 which you only know. There you go. Your wireless network is protected.

By default, the SSID of the router is NETGEAR, and the wireless security is disabled.

However, if you have already changed the default settings on the router, then you can check the settings by accessing the setup page.

In the address bar of your web browser, type 192.168.1.1. Or if this doesn't work, type www.routerlogin.net.

Default username is admin. Default password is password.

Once in the setup page, go to Wireless Settings. You will see the SSID and wireless security settings.

I hope this helps!

The default SSID is Netgear but if you have changed this to something else then you will need to access the setup page of the router.

Open a web browser to a computer that has access to the router. In the address bar, type www.routerlogin.net.

By default, the username is admin, and the password is password.

Once in the Netgear page, under Setup, go to Wireless settings.

You will be able to get your SSID and security settings from that page.

I hope this helps!

You log into your router and change it there in your setup. The SSID, is just the "Name" you give your "Connection"
