After the reboot, the HD45X will join the original network

will automatically be renamed to your original network, unless it
was specified during the set up process. If you wish to modify
this name, please refer to the user’s manual.

security key only if the network you are
connecting to is encrypted. Enter the key and
click ‘Continue’.

network you are connecting to, please consult
your network administrator.
