7. Tips & tricks
Get the best Wi-Fi signal
Where you place the router can affect your wireless coverage. For the best Wi-Fi performance, your router needs open spaces, away from walls,
obstructions and heavy-duty appliances or electronics.
Surf the Internet faster
Have you thought of changing your network frequency band to enjoy a faster connection? Your router is dual-band (2.4GHz & 5GHz), so you’ll
likely get better speed by switching to the 5GHz band instead of the more commonly used and congested 2.4GHz band. Make sure your 5 GHz
Wi-Fi is active at General > Network > Wi-Fi in the router’s Web UI, and connect your Wi-Fi device or computer to the 5GHz band instead of
2.4GHz.
Network security
Your router is pre-set with the recommended WPA2 security type, but you should immediately change the default Wi-Fi password, as well as
the Web UI login password. You can do so at General > Network > Wi-Fi and General > System Settings > Password & Timezone in the Web UI.
It’s not recommended to change Wi-Fi security type: WPA2 with AES is the most secure. And it’s never recommended to disable Wi-Fi security
(no security type), this means your network is open and anybody within range can connect by Wi-Fi.
