Select setup, then update the SSID and password. Make sure to make the password is eight characters long, secure, and noted down somewhere in case you forget!
Do not change any of the other menu items!
ALTA Pro passwords must be longer than eight characters and should be unique for each ALTA Pro. Do not use the same password on multiple machines! |
