Wi-Fi settings

Configure Wi-Fi access point as instructed in the manual provided with your device. While no special settings are required, we recommend 
setting up WPA2 or a similar form of security to prevent illicit access to your network from an external source.
Please refer to the following settings.

1. 

Assign the desired Wi-Fi network name (also called an “SSID”) to the Wi-Fi access point.

2. 

Select a wireless security protocol (WPA2, etc.) and set a password to the Wi-Fi access point.

3. 

Select the wireless mode (802.11n or ac).

4. 

When using “802.11n”, select the wireless band (2.4 or 5GHz).

5. 

If your Wi-Fi access point supports “Auto Channel Selection”, enable it.

This allows the wireless access point to automatically select the wireless channel with the least amount of interference.

We recommend selecting a 5GHz 802.11n or ac network for faster connections between your smart device and the Wi-Fi access point. 
Additionally, using external antennas with your Wi-Fi access point (if supported) will make wireless connections to the access point more 
reliable.
