is needed, just click

13.) Set up the WiFi Access Point on the router.
There are three options:
- Turn off Router’s wireless access point
- choose
this option if you have an AyrMesh Hub that
provides good WiFi throughout your house.
Click
Next.
- Use SSID and WPA passkey from ayrmesh.com
– choose this option if you don’t have an
AyrMesh Hub or your AyrMesh Hub is not
usable inside your entire house (e.g. Hub
above a metal roof, etc.). Setup is automatic;
it will use the SSID and WPA Passkey you set in
your ayrmesh.com acount – click
Next.
- Configure router’s wireless access point as
follows:
(default) – choose this option if you
have good signal from your AyrMesh Hub
throughout the house but want a separate
WiFi signal from your router. If you choose this
option, then fill in the SSID (which is the name of the network).
next, select the Encryption type.
If all the devices you have will support it, select
WPA2-AES
, but, if you have older devices,
select
WPA-TKIP.
Fill in the Encryption Password — make sure it is something you can keep
secret but still remember. Also fill in the
Channel,
and use a channel that is at least 5 channels
away from your Hub’s channel. For instance, the Hub is normally on channel 6, and the Router
is, by default, on channel 1. Once you have the values set, click
Next.
