4. Click Enable or Disable in the Wireless Network field to turn ON or OFF wireless
networking on your home network.
5. Do one of the following to set the network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier) for your
home network in the Network Name (SSID) field:
Enter a new network name for your wireless network.
The wireless network name cannot be the same name as any other SSID on your home
network. You can use any combination of letters (lowercase and uppercase), numbers,
and/or special characters (symbols) up to a maximum of 32 characters.
6. Select the wireless networking mode for your wireless network from the Mode drop-down
list:
2.4 GHz
o 802.11 g/n
o 802.11 b/g/n (recommended)
5 GHz
o 802.11 ac
o 802.11 n/ac
o 802.11 a/n/ac
o 802.11 n
7. Select one of the following wireless network security options for your wireless gateway
from the Security Mode drop-down list:
2.4 GHz & 5 GHz
o WPA2-PSK (AES): Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 with Pre-Shared Key
o WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) (recommended): Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2
with Pre-Shared Key (most compatible). This is the default network security option
for your SVG2482AC. It provides the highest security and performance for your
wireless network.
o Open (risky; not secure; not recommended): This network security option does not
provide any level of network security for your wireless network. It allows outside
users to connect to your Wi-Fi network without having to use a Wi-Fi Security Key
(network password).
8. Select the wireless Channel Selection mode which is used to control wireless network
interference and improve network connectivity:
Automatic (default): The SVG2482AC selects the channel with the least amount of
Wi-Fi interference on your home network.
Manual: Allows you to change the wireless channel number on your SVG2482AC.
9. For Manual channel mode, select a wireless Channel number from the Channel
drop-down list to improve network connectivity or Wi-Fi signal strength on your home
network.
Note: For 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks, it is recommended to use Channel 1, 6, or 11. In
the Wi-Fi spectrum, there are multiple wireless channels that overlap and thus
degrade wireless network performance. These channels are used for better network
performance and stability because they do not overlap.
