## Overview

The screen is titled **Identity Settings**, described as *"Configure router identity and
remote access"*. It is the shortest sub-step in the wizard: a name for the
router, and a toggle for RoMON.

The identity is the name RouterOS reports about itself, and it is what you see in
WinBox's neighbour list and in the title bar once you are connected. Giving each
router a distinct name matters as soon as you have more than one, which you
will if you configured a router plus an access point.

## Steps

1. Enter a name in **Router Identity**.
2. Turn **Romon** on or off.

## Reference
