To join the 5 GHz band of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase. • WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. This type of security requires that your WiFi network can access a RADIUS server. For information about configuring WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, see Configure WPA/WPA2 Enterprise WiFi Security on page 109.

Your settings are saved. 7. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the guest network. If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following: • If your computer or WiFi 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 modem router provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover. • Does your WiFi device display as an attached device? (See View Devices Currently on the Network on page 251.) If it does, it is connected to the network. • Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password? Control the WiFi Radios The modem router provides internal WiFi radios that broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges. By default, they are on so that you can connect over WiFi to the modem router. When the WiFi radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router. You can turn the WiFi radios on and off with the WiFi On/Off button on the modem router, or you can log in to the modem router and enable or disable the WiFi radios through the web management interface. If you are close to the modem router, it might be easier to press the WiFi On/Off button. If you are away from the modem router or already logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable the radios through the web management interface. You can also turn the WiFi radios off and on based on a schedule. (See Set Up a WiFi Schedule on page 125.) Manage the WiFi Network Settings 123
