## Edit WiFi Hotspots

On the above wireless overview page, click the ***"Edit"*** button on the row of related WiFi SSID to enter their configuration page.

### General

In the General Setup tab, you can monitor the network status and configure Wi-Fi operating mode, channel, bandwidth, and transmit power. Suggest using default settings unless there is a conflict.

{% hint style="info" %}
After connecting to a WiFi relay, the WiFi master SSID's Mode, Channel, and Width will be locked to the same settings as the connected Wi-Fi relay network.

If other 2.4GHz Wi-Fi hotspots are nearby, do not use 40MHz on "Width," and do not turn on "Force 40MHz mode" on the advanced settings.
{% endhint %}

### Country Code <a href="#country" id="country"></a>

In **Device Configuration**, click the **Advanced Settings** tab, check the Country Code field, and select the corresponding country code.&#x20;

It is essential to ensure the WiFi hotspot on your router meets the legal regulations in your country. The other configured WiFi networks will use the same device settings.
