**Wi-Fi** and **5GHz Wi-Fi.**

To change the **Wi-Fi name (SSID)**:

-To change the **Wi-Fi password**:

* In the **Password** field, enter your new Wi-Fi password (at least 8\
  characters long)
* See that both **Enable** switches are toggled **On**
  {% endstep %}

{% endstepper %}

**Optional: Enable Dual-Band AI Connect**

To combine both 2.4GHz and 5GHz into one network name, enable the Dual-Band AI Connect\
feature found at the top of the same page. When enabled, your router will automatically connect\
your end device to the best frequency available (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz).

**Tip**: For smart devices (like smart bulbs or smart plugs) which only work on 2.4 GHz, it's best to\
leave **Dual-Band AI Connect** OFF to keep the wireless bands separated.
