Thanks for the help so far! I got the router set up with no problem, and have much wider coverage throughout my home. However, I have no idea what the appropriate settings are. I searched but could not find a thread in the forums that guides a newbie through a starter set of appropriate settings and explanations.
I changed the admin password. Is there a way to change the router login name from admin to something else? Should I do this?
I used inSSIDer to look at my neighbors' networks, and changed from auto detect channel on 2.4GHz to channel 1. Is there a channel that is best, or is that entirely dependent on local environment? I was unable to change the channel for 5.0GHz. Is it possible to do this or even necessary?
Do I want to enable DoS protection?
Should I change the IP address or leave it at the default?
Are there any other settings I should change from the default config?
Thanks,
Mark
