Manage Wifi; Turn On 5 Ghz Wifi From The Mobile Router - NETGEAR Nighthawk M5 User Manual

Manage WiFi

Advanced users can set up the WiFi radio of the mobile router to meet their WiFi needs
by customizing settings on the mobile router web page.
On the mobile router web page, the following WiFi profiles are available:
• Default, Dual-Band. Supports two separate WiFi networks simultaneously using
both a 2.4- and 5-GHz frequency band.
• 2.4 GHz only. Share your main WiFi with 2.4 GHz devices that you trust.
• 5 GHz WiFi. Share your main WiFi with 5 GHz devices that you trust.
• Turn Off WiFi. Turn off WiFi.
By default, Dual-Band is enabled. If your place of business does not allow WiFi or for
any other reason you want to disable WiFi and use the mobile router only in tethered
mode, the mobile router gives you that option.
Note: Whenever you change WiFi settings, any devices connected to the mobile router
are disconnected and might need to be reconnected.
