Advanced Settings

This chapter provides information on how to configure advanced
settings for your Velocity 2, such as Wi-Fi network options, WAN
and router settings, and more. You can manage these settings
from the AT&T Wi-Fi Manager.

Set Wi-Fi Network Options

1. Log in to the AT&T Wi-Fi Manager, and click Settings in the
navigation menu.
2. Click Wi-Fi Advanced Settings.
3. Manage the following options, as needed:
• Wi-Fi Coverage – Select the range of the Wi-Fi signal.
Shorter coverage means devices must be closer to your
Velocity 2 to connect, but it can increase battery life. Longer
coverage means devices can connect when farther from
your Velocity 2, but battery life will be decreased.
Sleep Mode – Select the length of time before Wi-Fi is turned
•
off when no devices are connected. A shorter time period
can increase battery life.
Band Selection – Select the Wi-Fi band range used for your
•
network(s). The 2.4 GHz band uses less power and has a
longer range than the 5 GHz band, but the 5 GHz band can
provide higher speeds with less interference.
• Network Mode – Select the WLAN protocol. The
recommended mode depends on the Wi-Fi band. When
using the 2.4 GHz band, select 802.11 b/g/n. When using
the 5 GHz band, select 802.11 a/n/ac.
