6. Locate Wi-Fi Name and Password

Your router is now ready. On the back of the device, you’ll find two Wi-Fi names (SSIDs): one for 5G and one for standard Wi-Fi. Please use only the standard Wi-Fi SSID and ignore the 5G SSID for this setup.

In the reference image below, the correct Wi-Fi name (SSID) is circled in orange, and the password is circled in purple. Use these to connect your device to the internet.


Info
You can also connect wired devices, like a computer, TV, or gaming console, by plugging an ethernet cable into one of the orange “LAN” ports on your router.
