Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12 12-Stream AX WiFi Router The default 5 GHz-1 SSID is NETGEAR-5G-Guest. The default 5 GHz-2 SSID is NETGEAR-5G-2-Guest. To change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this field. 6. Select a WiFi security option for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz-1, or 5GHz-2 guest WiFi network: • None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can join the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz-1, or 5GHz-2 guest WiFi network. This is the default setting for the guest WiFi network. • WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some older WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Select WPA2-PSK [AES] security to allow 802.11n devices to connect to the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz-1, or 5GHz-2 guest WiFi network at the fastest speed. If your network includes older devices that do not support WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security. To use WPA2 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz-1, or 5GHz-2 guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password. • WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the 2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network. However, WPA-PSK [TKIP] is less secure than WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps. To use WPA + WPA2 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz-1, or 5GHz-2 guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password. 7. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. 8. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new security settings. If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following: • If your computer or mobile device is already connected to another WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the router provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover. • Does your computer or mobile device display as an attached device? If it does, it is connected to the network. • Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password? Manage Network Settings 74 User Manual
