The "SSID" is the network name. You'll also need the passphrase to connect There are several options to learn how your network is setup:
- Look at the label on the router for the WiFi SSID and passphrase.
- Login to "My Verizon," it will report the SSID and the passphrase.
- If you have FiOS TV, use the network settings wizard and it will show the SSID and passphrase.
The best thing you can do is:
- Click http://192.168.1.1 to connect directly to your router.
- Login using the user name "admin" and the router password from the label (note this is not the WiFi passphrase).
- Go to the WiFi settings and change the SSID to something you'll remember. It can be anything, although I suggest avoiding names like "Smith Family".
- Set the security to WPA2 if it isn't already chosen (this is under advanced settings).
- Choose your own passphrase. It doesn't have to be a random set of characters.
