About the WiFi networks
The router provides three WiFi networks:
• Main network: The main WiFi network of the router broadcasts simultaneously in
the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radio bands. The router supports automatic
bandsteering between these three radio bands in the main WiFi network. The main
network is enabled by default. You cannot disable the main network, or broadcast
of the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radio bands in the main network. You can change
the WiFi network name (SSID), security option, and password for the main network,
all of which are unique to the main network. However, if you change the channel for
the main network, the changes apply to all WiFi networks on the router. You can set
fixed channels for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radio bands individually.
• IoT network: The Internet of things (IoT) network is enabled by default so that you
can connect WiFi-enabled smart devices that can range from light bulbs to appliances.
If you do not need the IoT network, you can disable it. You can select the radio bands
for the IoT network and change the WiFi network name (SSID), security option, and
password, all of which are unique to the IoT network.
• Guest network: The optional guest network is disabled by default, but you can
enable it so that guests and visitors can connect to your WiFi without compromising
the security of your other WiFi networks. You can change the WiFi network name
(SSID), security option, and password for the guest network, all of which are unique
to the guest network.
Manage the settings for the main WiFi
network
The router and satellite(s) come preset with the same WiFi network name (SSID) and
the same WiFi security. You can find the SSID and password on the router label and on
the satellite label. If you log in to the router and change the WiFi settings, the router
automatically sends the new settings to the satellite(s).
If you change your WiFi settings, make a note of the new settings and store the
information in a safe place where you can easily find it.
If your computer or mobile device is using a WiFi connection when you change the
network name (SSID) or other WiFi 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 router.
