Here you can configure both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz Wireless Security settings. Enter a new name for your WiFi in the WiFi Network Name (SSID) field (what about something cool like ‘MrBeastWiFi’?). Then, set your super-secret, MrBeast-approved password on the WiFi password (security key) field. And just as MrBeast wraps up his challenges, wrap this up by clicking on Apply changes!
