VIA GO - Configuring VIA GO
7.1.3.1 AP (Access Point) Wi-Fi Mode
In AP mode, VIA GO uses the built-in Wi-Fi module, that offers 2.4 GHz band
support, IEEE 802.11bgn, 802.11i, 802.11w with WPA2, AES-CCMP security level
(in AP mode). The device creates an autonomous Wi-Fi network (SSID) named
“VIA_WIFI”. The default password of this SSID is “123456789”.
You can change the default SSID and select your preferred Wi-Fi channel for this
network. You can also toggle the On/Off button in the Wifi tab to completely
deactivate or activate the built-in Wi-Fi module.
VIA GO is activated by default in “Standalone Wi-Fi” mode (see
Standalone Wi-Fi on page 41).
The following are the Wi-Fi setup options available in Access Point mode:
Enable Internet
Select the Enable Internet checkbox to setup your Wi-Fi module as a secondary
Access Point and enable internet for the users connected to this secondary network
(if the primary LAN network is connected to the Internet).
When this mode is selected, you can also select the Guest Mode checkbox.
This enables the primary LAN network’s users to activate the Wi-Fi mode of
the box on the fly, for guest users.
To activate/deactivate Guest Mode on the fly, in the taskbar menu, click
Start Guest Mode or Stop Guest Mode.
