About Wi-Fi configuration
Note Wi-Fi support is available wit the Digi EX15W model. The Digi EX15 model does not include Wi-Fi
support.
With the default configuration profile, there is one available SSID. WiFi-enabled Digi EX15Ws can
broadcast up to a total of 8 WLAN SSIDs simultaneously. To create additional SSIDs or to change the
configuration of existing ones:
1. Navigate to the device (or group) Configuration page.
2. Expand Network > WiFi.
a. Verify that WiFI support is enabled.
b. Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz for the Frequency Band. The default is 2.4 GHz.
c. Adjust the Channel and Beacon interval if necessary.
3. Expand the Access Points menu to view existing SSIDs or create new ones.
4. Each WLAN AP is listed as its own collapsible menu featuring:
n Enabled status box
n SSID
n SSID Broadcast
n Encryption type
n Pre-shared key
5. To create a new AP, specify its name in the corresponding text field and click the Add button.
Client mode
In addition to serving as an independent WLAN Access Point, the Digi EX15 Wi-Fi can broadcast in
Client Mode to serve as a supplemental AP to relay Wi-Fi originating from another Wi-Fi-enabled
router by entering that network SSID and pre-shared key.
Wi-Fi as WAN
Client Mode can also be used to leverage the Digi EX15W Wi-Fi to relay Internet access (WAN) provided
by another router's wireless AP.
Before configuring the Digi EX15W for Wi-Fi-as-WAN (WaW) Client Mode, identify the SSID that the Digi
EX15W should connect to, including its broadcasting channel, authentication details for the SSID, and
interface prioritization for the WaW connection (that is, should it take precedence over the WAN
Ethernet port).
1. Under Network > WiFi > Client mode connections, create a new entry named testclient. The
name can be different if desired.
