Change the WiFi (aka SSID) Name & Password
How to change the WiFi name(s) on your network:
- Log into your Kibosh Portal
- Go to Advanced > Settings > WiFi Settings
- 2.4Ghz — this is the primary WiFi with long range
- Enter Name & Password
- 5Ghz — this is for high bandwidth applications (like HD TV), but with a short range
- Enter Name & Password
- Save Changes
- 2.4Ghz — this is the primary WiFi with long range
TIPS:
- See How to Schedule WiFi to shut off
- Disable 5Ghz unless you know you need it:
- First – it’s a strong WiFi signal that you might not want to be exposed to (in addition to 2.4g).
- Second – it’s another WiFi that you will need to maintain join / re-join, etc.
- Third – it’s range is much smaller than 2.4g (so you’ll have to switch between 2.4 / 5 often).
- Fourth – we’ve never seen any evidence in the real-world 5g is faster than 2.4g
