Band Steering Band steering is a technique that aims to optimise the band (2.4GHz or
5GHz) that clients connect to based on their signal strength, with a focus
on encouraging wireless devices to prioritise the less congested 5GHz
network where possible.
If you have some older devices and experience connection problems, you
may consider disabling this option, but in most cases, band steering
improves the performance of your wireless network.
WiFi Status Enables or disables the Main Wi-Fi network of your Wi-Fi 6 Gateway.
SSID The SSID is also known as the wireless network name that appears when
you scan for nearby wireless networks.
WiFi Password The password for the wireless network. This is the password that must be
entered when attempting to connect to the Wi-Fi 6 Gateway's Wi-Fi
network.
Security Mode This is the security protocol used to secure your wireless network. The
default setting is WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE. This is a combination of WPA2 and
WPA3. If the wireless device supports WPA3, it will use that as it is the
newer and more secure protocol.
If you have any problems with connecting to Wi-Fi, try to select "WPA2" or
"WPA2-PSK" as the security mode as it is possible that some devices could
have trouble connecting with the WPA3 protocol.
Encrypt Algorithm The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the most secure wireless
encryption standard and is the default setting on the Wi-Fi 6 Gateway. As it
is the most secure option, no other options are provided.
SSID Hidden When this option is enabled, your wireless network will not appear when a
device does a scan for nearby wireless networks. This means that a
wireless device must use the manual connection method and enter the
SSID and password together in order to connect.
