Creating a custom GNARBOX wifi name and password is simple and protects your data.  The default settings are:

WiFi Network Name: MyGNARBOX
Password: gnarbox!

To change your WiFi Name and Password:

1. Power up your GNARBOX and connect to the MyGNARBOX wifi as you normally would.
2. Open up the GNARBOX app and navigate to the Settings page.
3. Tap on Wi-Fi Access Point.  
4. Here, you will see the current name of your GNARBOX and the current password for your GNARBOX. Tap on the network name and make the changes you desire.  
5. Do the same for the password.
6. When you're finished making changes, make sure to tap Save new settings at the bottom of the screen and wait for the Settings saved! notification to pop up.
7. Your GNARBOX will then notify you of a Wi-Fi setting change and ask you to reconnect using your new Wi-Fi name.

Note: this does not affect any of the data stored on your GNARBOX.
