Wi-Fi Settings

You can use the default values as they appear on this tab, or can adjust them for your environment.

Wi-Fi

Use the Allow Wi-Fi devices to connect to this Router ON/OFF slider to turn Wi-Fi on or off. This selection affects Primary and Guest networks.

When Wi-Fi is turned off, the only way to connect to the router (and to the Admin website) is with Ethernet cable.

WPS

Configure WPS session on Primary or Guest Network. Push the button present in router and also enable WPS service in client to connect via WPS.

Band Selection

Each network can be accessed over two bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz:

The 2.4 GHz band is supported by all devices with Wi-Fi and should be used by devices that are a few years old or older. This band passes through walls better and propagates over longer distances, so it may have a longer range.
The 5 GHz band is best for newer devices. It offers better throughput, reduced interference and faster data speeds, but does not pass through walls as well as compared to the 2.4 GHz band.

NOTE: The guest network must be assigned at least one band before it can be turned on.

2.4 GHz Band Selection

This section displays the 802.11 Mode in use when the 2.4 GHz band is active and allows you to select a Channel.

NOTE: Leave the Channel set to Automatic unless you need to choose a particular channel for your environment.

5 GHz Band Selection

This section displays the 802.11 Mode in use when the 5 GHz band is active and allows you to select a Bandwidth and Channel.

NOTE: Leave the Bandwidth at the default setting unless you experience interference with other Wi-Fi devices. If you experience interference, try lowering the Bandwidth setting to reduce the interference.

NOTE: Leave the Channel set to Automatic unless you need to choose a particular channel for your environment.
