SSID-2.4
lists the default network name assigned to your wireless network.
2.4
refers to
the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency range used by most wireless devices. The 5 GHz frequency
provides better performance, if your device is capable of performing at that frequency
level. However, the 2.4 GHz is more widely used and is compatible with a higher number
of wireless devices.

We recommend that you use the default SSID name assigned to your gateway (located
on the gateway label). You have the option to change the network name to one that may
be easier for you to remember.
