NETGEAR 21

Can someone please tell why I have "2" after my WiFi NETGEAR21? I am not able to access the internet as long as I use this router.

 

Thanks.

    To signify its a 2.4Ghz SSID signal. You can change that to anything. You don't have to use that SSID name. Try something different.

        Be sure to mark your thread and solved so others will know. 

        Be sure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed. 

         

        Enjoy.
