WF1
Most functions of the Winegard ConnecT WF1 are controlled from the Local Network Settings screen. From the
Status Screen, select
LOCAL NETWORK SETTINGS
from the drop down menu and click
SELECT
. From here it is
possible to do any of the following:
Change Network Name
It is recommended that you change the name of
your network. This will improve the security of your
network and make it easier to find with your WiFi
enabled devices.
Change Network Password
To secure your network, it is suggested that you
change the network password to something you
can remember. The new password must be eight
characters long.
Security Type
The Winegard ConnecT WF1 Security Type has
been defaulted to WPA2-PSK (AES). Other options
are available on this screen.
Guest Network
The Winegard ConnecT WF1 provides a simple
way to set up an extra network that doesn’t have
access to the Status Screen. This allows you to
provide guests with an easier password to use
when accessing your network while still maintaining
a secure system.
To set up a Guest Network:
1)
Click on
ENABLE.
See Figure 9
.
2)
Give the guest network an easily recognizable
name.
See Figure 9.
3)
Enter a password. If you use a simple password,
it is recommended that the guest network be
disabled when not in use.
See Figure 9.
