Prerequisite

The Huawei B618 Router is connected to the Internet.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  2. View the default value of SSID.

 NOTE:

  1. Enter SSIDon clients.

This section describes how to change the service set identifier (SSID).

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  2. From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click Edit.
  3. In SSID, enter the SSID.

Setting the WLAN Key

To improve the security of the wireless local area network (WLAN), set a security key for the WLAN.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  2. From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click Edit.
  3. Select Security mode.
    • None(open): No encryption. No security key is required when clients access the WLAN.

Enabling or Disabling the SSID Broadcast

If the service set identifier (SSID) broadcast function is enabled, the Huawei B618 Router broadcasts the SSID of the wireless local area network (WLAN) facilitating clients’ access to the WLAN. The disadvantage is that unauthorized clients can also access the WLAN. If the SSID broadcast is disabled, the Huawei B618 Router does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. So the SSID must be entered manually and correctly from a client before the client accesses the WLAN. This improves the security of the WLAN.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  2. From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click Edit.
  3. Set SSID broadcast.
    • Enable: to enable the SSID broadcast.
    • Disable: to disable the SSID broadcast.
  4. Click Apply.

 NOTE:

During the process of setting up the WLAN, you can set the SSID broadcast to Enable to facilitate the access from clients. After the WLAN is set up, set the SSID broadcast to Disable to improve the security of the WLAN.
