Wi-Fi 2.4GHz/WiFi 5GHz

The NL1901ACV allows you to maintain separate wireless settings for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless services.

Select the service you want to use (or both) and separately configure them:

2.4 GHz Wireless configuration pages 5 GHz Wireless configuration pages

We recommend that you access the web interface over a wired connection (using Ethernet cable) to change the

WiFi security key/password.

We also recommend that you change the WiFi network name/SSID (e.g. NetComm 8386) before changing

the WiFi security key (WiFi password).

Wireless – Security

Selecting a wireless security type:

We highly recommend that you do not change the network authentication type. Use the default “WPA2-

PSK” authentication because it is the most secure one. Changing it to another type such as WEP will

compromise the security of the NL1901ACV.

Selecting a wireless security key:

We do not recommend changing the wireless security key from the default setting. It is randomly

generated, reasonably secure and unique to each unit. Your client devices will still have same password

even if the NL1901ACV is reset to factory default settings. If you want to change it to a more secure

password, add numbers and special characters along with upper-case and lower-case characters.

Generally speaking, the longer the password, the more secure it is.

To change the WiFi security key:

1Navigate to Wireless > 2.4GHz/5GHz > Security.

2Delete all the dots (encrypted password) in the WPA/WAPI passphrase text entry field.

3Enter a new password

4Click Apply/Save.

5After changing the password, click the Click here to display link next to WPA/WAPI passphrase to check the

new WiFi password.

A pop up window displays your new WiFi password.

6Click the Apply/Save button.
