Chapter 6 Wireless Security Information

Wireless networking, like any radio signal that travels through the air, can be intercepted by other devices. Here's how you can protect the information that travels over your wireless network:

1. Change the default wireless network name (SSID)
   The name of your wireless network is called a Service Set Identifier (SSID) and was set by the factory. Your VIZIO router has three SSIDs (see Features for information about your SSIDs). Consider changing the network name to something unique to make sure it is not the same as other wireless networks that your router may detect in the area. Do not use personal information because others with will be able to see that when searching for a wireless network.
2. Set a username and password
   From the factory no username or password is set to open the Router Settings App. To keep your router safe from hackers, set a username and password. See Router Auto Login for information on setting a username and password.
3. Hide your Network Name (SSID)
   Hide your network name (SSID) so people who are not on your network cannot see it in their list of available networks. To hide your SSID:
1. Select the Wireless menu option.
2. Click Advanced.
3. Select the Off button next to SSID Broadcast.
4. Click Save Changes.

General Network Security Guidelines

• Password-protect all computers on the network and individually password protect sensitive files.
• Change passwords on a regular basis.
• Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.
• Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications may open file sharing without your consent and/or knowledge.

Additional Security Tips

• Keep your router away from exterior walls and windows.
• Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be found in the dictionary.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your router fails or the performance changes dramatically, check the FAQ and Troubleshooting solutions below or check the support section on VIZIO.com. If your router still fails to perform as expected, e-mail us at [email protected] or call us at 1-877-MYVIZIO (698-4946).

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

1. Turn off and unplug the modem, turn off your router, and shut down the computer.
2. Plug in and turn on the modem, wait two minutes.
3. Turn on your router and wait one minute.
4. Turn on the computer.

Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.

• The INTERNET light on your router will be lit if the Ethernet cable to your router from the modem is plugged in and the modem and router are turned on.
• For each computer that is connected to your router and turned on, the corresponding LED under the port in the back will be lit (1, 2, 3, or 4).

Make sure the computer network settings are correct.

• Configure your computer to obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically via DHCP whenever possible.
• Some cable modem ISPs require you to use the MAC address of the computer registered on the account. If so select, use Copy My PC's MAC in your router's MAC Address Clone section of the Advanced Internet Menu. You must be using the computer that is registered with the ISP. Click Save Changes to save your settings. Restart the network in the correct sequence.
