9. CoNNeCt to WIFI
(WIReLess NetWoRKINg)
Before you begin, ensure you can connect to the internet using the Ethernet connection.
Your Gateway has a WiFi network ready to use out of the box. Your Gateway has a
unique SSID (or Network Name) and WLAN Key (or Wireless Password or Key) to make
connecting using WiFi easy. These details are found on the information label on the rear
of the Gateway.
The HG659 gateway uses both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz public wavelength bands to
transit radio signals between the gateway and WiFi enabled devices. If you have a
device (eg. a premium smartphone/tablet/computer) that displays the 5G network
option when searching for WiFi networks, you can connect to the 5G band at a
higher speed than the 2.4Ghz band.
The WiFi network is designed to provide a strong level of network security. To keep
your network secure, keep your SSID/WLAN Key out of public view.
