Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System with MR70 router and MS70 satellite The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSIDs are NETGEAR_2G and NETGEAR_5G. 8. Set the WiFi security by selecting one of the following Security Options radio buttons: • None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can join the WiFi network. We recommend that you do not use an open WiFi network. • WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security is Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) version 2 with a pre-shared key. It uses WPA2-Personal standard encryption with the AES encryption type. • WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security allows clients to use either WPA-Personal [TKIP] or WPA2-Personal [AES]. • WPA3-Personal. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join the router's WiFi network. WPA3 is the latest security standard and is more secure than WPA2. 9. Set a WiFi password in the Password (Network Key) field. You must enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters or 64 hexadecimal digits. The Password (Network Key) field displays if you select the WPA2-PSK [AES], WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES], or WPA3-Personal security radio button. 10. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. 11. Make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with its new settings. If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following: • Is your computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi network in your area? Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover. • Is your computer or mobile device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network selection in your computer or mobile device to match the current settings for your network. Set up a guest WiFi network A guest network allows visitors to use the Internet without using your WiFi security password or with a different WiFi password. The guest WiFi network can broadcast simultaneously in both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz band. Although the guest network is disabled by default, it is configured as an open network without security.
