Step 1. Locate Your Wireless Network Info
The Wireless Gateway 2 has a dual-band design to support
two Wi-Fi radios (2.4 and 5 GHz). Some Wi-Fi products
can only use the 2.4 GHz wireless band, while dual-band
products can use either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. The
5 GHz band has faster data rate capability than 2.4 GHz.
Many older devices are not compatible with the 5 GHz band.
Instead of choosing one or the other,
the Wireless Gateway 2 simultaneously
broadcasts both bands, so dual-band
products can use the band with the
fastest wireless performance and the
best possible range.
Lift up the Wireless Gateway 2 device
and look for a white label on the
underside. You will need the Wireless
Network Names (SSIDs) and Network
Key (Password) to connect your
various Wi-Fi devices.
Once you’ve located them, write them down for future reference:
Wireless “Network Name (SSID 1)” for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Band (Example: HOME-XXXX-2.4)
______________________________________________
Wireless “Network Name (SSID 2)” for 5 GHz Wi-Fi Band (Example: HOME-XXXX-5)
______________________________________________
Wireless “Network Key (Password)” Same for both bands
