Wi-Fi Settings	Description
Wi-Fi Name and Wi-Fi Password	Displays your WiFi name and password. It is recommended to use the same name for all radios. But for troubleshooting purposes, you can tap these fields to assign different names or passwords to each radio and then tap Save once you're finished. The WiFi connection will momentarily disconnect until changes have been saved.
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings	Security Type - Tap this option to make changes to your security settings. The options will vary by model. For Wi-Fi® 6E Linksys routers, you will see Multiple selection as the only option. You can make changes through the router's web interface for troubleshooting purposes. If you consider using WPA3 Personal Only, all your devices must support WPA3™ including your child nodes. If the devices do not support it, they will not be able to connect. Instead, you can use the WPA/WPA3 if your router supports it. Wi-Fi Mode Mixed mode is the only supported option. Channel Finder Tap on Scan Channels to scan your environment for WiFi channels that will give you the best performance. While Channel Finder is working, the WiFi will briefly disconnect until the process finishes. Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) If the node supports DFS, you can enable or disable DFS channels. The default value will vary by model.
Connect a Device With WPS	Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) allows you to easily connect WPS-supported devices to your WiFi without manually configuring security settings if your personal device supports it.
