Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The gateway comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID),
network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.
You can find the preset SSID and password on the gateway label. The preset SSID and
password are uniquely generated for every device to maximize your wireless security.
You do not need to change the security settings
.
If you change the security settings, make a
note of the new settings and store the note in a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the SSID or other wireless security settings, you
are disconnected when you click the
Apply
button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with
a wired connection to access the gateway.

In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you
experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. Best practice is to use channel spacing between
adjacent access points of four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and
10).
Change the WiFi Mbps Settings
The data rate for high-speed transmissions is commonly identified as megabits per second
(Mbps). By default, the router is set to operate with up to 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz WiFi band
and up to 1,300 Mbps in the two 5 GHz WiFi bands. You can select slower settings if you
want.

Make sure that you can connect with WiFi to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect, check the following:
•
Is your computer or wireless device connected to another WiFi network in your area?
Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network without
wireless security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network
selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your
network.
To change the WiFi Mbps settings:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
