Local Network Settings
Change Local Network Name (SSID)
It is recommended that you change the
network name of your Winegard Gateway
5G. This will improve the security of your
network and make it easier to find with your
WiFi enabled devices.
Change Network Password
To secure your network, it is suggested
that you change the network password to
something you can remember. The new
password must be at least eight characters
long.
Security Type
The Winegard ConnecT Security Type has
been defaulted to WPA2-PSK (AES). Other
security options are available on this page.
5 GHz Network Settings
For faster device performance enable the
5GHz network. Once enabled connect
your WiFi enabled devices to the SSID
shown.
Guest Network
The ConnecT software provides a simple
way to set up an extra network that doesn’t have access to the Status page.
This allows you to provide guests with an easy login process to use when
accessing your network while you still maintain a secure system.
Note:
Any changes made to your network settings will result in a temporary
loss of all network connections. You will need to reconnect all devices to the
Winegard Gateway 5G with the changed network name and/or password.
