my router won't allow ssid change

[davidjsimpson1281959]

AsusRT-N66U won't save new ssid or allow me to change security. I've been at this all day to no avail. I can see the wifi on my phone and on my PC. I have access to my router. There's a blinking exclamation mark in the upper right corner. Router says firmware is current. I need to secure my devices. Anyone??

Is it possible you have a "bad" character in your SSID name ? -- https://www.snbforums.com/threads/allowed-characters-in-ssid.27434/

Thank you for responding. Answer: no, I don't think so. I've tried using all upper with no spaces, all lower case and just leaving the default name as "Asus" and changing the encryption to a protective mode. I then click SAVE. However if I go anywhere else, and go back, nothing has changed: still in unprotected mode and if I changed the ssid to something else, it goes back to "Asus" Stumped...?
