Wi-Fi devices

Follow the steps below for each Wi-Fi device you want to connect to your home
network.
For the best experience from the Wireless Gateway 2, connect to both 2.4 and
5 GHz networks, if your Wi-Fi device supports both networks (p. 6). If it does not,
only connect to the 2.4 GHz network.
