Wireless Security Overview
To guard your home network against attack and prevent unauthorised access, it is very important that you
secure it with correct authentication type, encryption and strong secure password. By default, NL19MESH
has secure authentication type, encryption and randomly generated unique secure password however you
can update it to more secure password or change authentication type or encryption method based on your
wireless clients.
If you are planning to change the Wi-Fi network name, password, authentication type or encryption it is
recommended to keep it same for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band. This will allow the wireless clients to auto
select suitable band and for optimum MESH performance.
