VDSL/ADSL2+ Dual Band AC1600 Gigabit Gateway with VoIP – NF18ACV
UG01040 v 1.04 December 2018
WIRELESS settings
The NF18ACV can operate on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies, or on both. Where both are enabled, select either band when you connect your device.
WIRELESS 2.4GHz
The 2.4GHz frequency offers better
range, particularly if walls or
partitions exist but offers less
channels and at slower speeds.
Select ON in order to enable
2.4GHz service either in conjunction
with 5GHz or on its own.
Select OFF if want only 5GHz
service or if you want to disable WiFi
entirely – i.e. both 2.4GHZ and 5GHz
are turned OFF.
WIRELESS 5GHz
The 5GHz frequency offers higher
speed and offers many more channels
than 2.4GHz.
However, the 5GHz signal does not
penetrate walls, floors, partitions, etc.
as well as 2.4GHZ. The 5GHz service
works best with nearby devices.
Select ON in order to enable 5GHz
either in conjunction with 2.4GHz or on
its own.
Select OFF if want only 2.4GHz
service or if you want to disable WiFi
entirely (turn 2.4GHz OFF too).
The three settings for each frequency (Network Name, Security Key Type and WiFi Password)
function in the same manner, there details are as follows.
Network Name
Initially this will be the same as the Wireless Network Name (SSID) printed on the Wireless Security
card included in the box with your NF18ACV. You can change this to a more recognisable name
that can be easily identified if multiple WiFi connections are available.
Security Key Type
The default WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Pre-Shared Key) offers high-grade security to
home or smaller business networks without the necessity of dedicated security systems and
services.
Use the mixed-mode option WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK where you may be connecting devices which are
much older than the latest standard, the older devices will access the WiFi network using the older
WPA-PSK protocol.
We do not suggest selecting OPEN as this will leave your network unprotected from intrusion via
your WiFi connection, that is anyone within range of your WiFi signal could get into your network.
WiFi Password
Initially this will also be the same as the Wireless Security Key also is printed on the Wireless
Security card included in the box with your NF18ACV. You can change the password to a more
recognisable one either here or later in the Wireless settings page.
