Add a WiFi network

The router and satellite have one default WiFi network, for which the WiFi network name
(SSID) and network key (password) are on the router label and on the satellite label. In
addition, the router can support two additional and separate WiFi networks: One 2.4 GHz
WiFi network and one 5 GHz WiFi network.
If you add a WiFi network, the router automatically sends the new settings to the satellite
so that both the router and satellite broadcast the new WiFi network.
To add a WiFi network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Customize WiFi Network.
The Customize WiFi Network page displays.
5. Select the Customize 2.4 GHz WiFi Network or Customize 5 GHz WiFi Network
check box.
You can add a WiFi network in the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band.
6. To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check
box.
When this check box is selected, the router broadcasts the SSID so that it displays
when you scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or mobile device.
7. To add an SSID, type a name in the Customized 2.4 GHz WiFi Network Name
(SSID) or Customized 5 GHz WiFi Network Name (SSID) field.
