and configure the Router. Please be patient.  

If there is a problem with your Internet connection  

or if your Internet provider requires that you log in  

before accessing the Internet, a prompt will appear  

notifying you of the issue.  

Once your Wizard has configured your Internet  

settings you should see a green check mark.

Personalize your Wi-Fi Settings  

The default ID of your 5GHz Wi-Fi network and  

2.4GHz Wi-Fi network is: Amped_Athena_5.0 or  

Amped_Athena_2.4  

To change it, enter a new name in the SSID field. Users  

connecting wirelessly to the Router will use these IDs to  

identify your Wi-Fi networks.  

The default Security Key of your Wi-Fi networks  

is: wireless  

To change them, enter a new key for both the 5GHz  

and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks in the Security Key field.  

The keys must be at least 8 characters long.  

Create a Password for your Router

of the Router to access additional router settings.  

Leave this blank if you do not wish to have a  

password.  

Click Apply to save your settings. The Router will  

reboot. This process may take up to 1 minute. The
