Key Wi-Fi profile settings
When you select a Wi-Fi profile, consider the following table to choose the correct
profile for your setup.
Advanced users may choose to customize the following options in the AT&T Unite Pro
Manager:
Note: If you choose a predefined profile and then change detailed options in the AT&T Unite Pro
Manager, the profile automatically becomes a custom profile.
• Frequency — Use 2.4 GHz for longer range (but slower) Wi-Fi, or 5 GHz for higher
throughput and less interference (but shorter range).
(Note: If you change the Frequency, the Mode field automatically sets to the best
value.)
• Enable secondary Wi-Fi network — Select this to use dual band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and
5 GHz) or to give temporary access to guest users.
• Guest Wi-Fi — Select this to use the secondary Wi-Fi network for temporary
visitors without letting them see the devices using your Main Wi-Fi. Give your
guests the Guest Wi-Fi network name and password, which are different from
Main Wi-Fi.
• Wi-Fi network name and password — Keep the randomly assigned names and
passwords, or change them as appropriate. For example, you may have a standard
method for referring to Wi-Fi networks, or for assigning passwords.
