 Security Type Wi-Fi Mode Mixed mode is the only supported option. Wi-Fi signals are broadcast on multiple channels. The Channel Finder will investigate each node in your Velop system to find the channel with the least amount of traffic.  NOTE: All devices will be disconnected temporarily during the scan. If better channels are found, the Channel Finder will make the changes for you.  However, if you are already using the best channels, the following message will display:  If your Wi-Fi channels were optimized, you can tap on Technical details to view the new channels. For example, on the Office node, the 2.4 GHz radio went from Channel 2 to Channel 11 and its 5 GHz radio did not change.

| Connect a Device with WPS | Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) allows you to easily connect WPS-supported devices to your Wi-Fi without manually configuring security settings. To access this feature, go to Wi-Fi Settings > Connect a Device With WPS and toggle the switch OFF or ON to disable or enable it. To add a device, tap on Connect. You have 2 minutes to push the WPS button on your device to connect it to your Wi-Fi. To connect using a PIN or if your device asks for a router WPS PIN, tap Use a PIN. WPS is configured via the Linksys app. There is no external button on the node itself.  |
