== Setting Up WiFi ==
Your XWi Home comes pre-installed with a wireless network. The information is listed on the bottom of your router. You may also notice a network starting with '''CXNK''' in your WiFi list.

With the XWi Home app you have the ability to create additional networks, rename your networks, and update passwords.

First tap on My Network

[[File:MyNetwork.png]]

Next, we will see the following:

{|
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| [[File:WiFiSetup-1.png|300px]]
* Tap on the '''+''' in the upper right
| [[File:WiFiSetup-2.png|300px]]
* Tap on '''Add Network'''
| [[File:WiFiSetup-3.png|300px]]
* Finally choose from one of the following
** Guest
** Work From Home
** Custom
|}

* A Guest Network allows your friends and family temporary access to the Internet. Guest Networks are isolated and prevent access to any other devices connected to your primary network
* A Work From Home network allows a limited number of devices that require high-priority access to the Internet. Work From Home networks are isolated and prevent access to any other devices connected to your primary network.
* A Custom network allows for the most flexible configuration to best fit your Internet access needs.

We will be setting up a Custom network, however you can follow the steps for any network you choose.

Choose '''Custom''' when setting up the network and you should see the following:
{|
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| [[File:WiFiSetup-4.png|600px]]
|
In this '''Add Network''' page we can setup the following:
* Network Name: Give your network a name that you can remember and is easy for everyone in your home to understand.
* Band: Here. you have an option of setting up a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network. We will start by choosing 2.4G, you can repeat these steps to setup a 5GHz network.
* Security Type: Here are your options
** None: Not Recommended
** WPA2-Personal
** WPA - WPA2-Personal
** WPA2 - WPA3-Personal
** WPA3-Personal
* Password

'''What do these mean?'''
* '''WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)''': This provides stronger data encryption through TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) but is considered outdated and less secure than its successors.
* '''WPA2-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)''': This uses a pre-shared key (PSK), which is a password that you set up on your router. Every device that connects to the network needs to use this same password.
* '''WPA3-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3)''': Like WPA2-Personal, this uses a pre-shared key (password) for access. However, this type enhances security with a feature called SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), which provides better protection against password-guessing attacks.

'''Do I need isolation turned on?'''
* Wi-Fi isolation is a security feature that prevents devices connected to the same WiFi network from communicating with each other. When enabled, this feature ensures that each device on the WiFi network can only communicate with the router and not with other devices on the same network. This is particularly useful in environments like public WiFi hotspots, where you want to prevent users from accessing or potentially hacking into each other's devices.
|}

Finally, you are able to share your network across other devices by sharing your WiFi login information.

[[File:WiFiSetup-5.png|300px]]
* Once selected, a QR code will appear that users can scan. You can also send users a text.

== Recommended Routers ==

When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots.

'''Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget. '''

* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables.

== XWi Home ==
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup.

For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti's UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission's office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.

== Placement of your router ==
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.

== Router Issues ==
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.

* A Guest Network allows your friends and family temporary access to the Internet. Guest Networks are isolated and prevent access to any other devices connected to your primary network
* A Work From Home network allows a limited number of devices that require high-priority access to the Internet. Work From Home networks are isolated and prevent access to any other devices connected to your primary network.
* A Custom network allows for the most flexible configuration to best fit your Internet access needs.

We will be setting up a Custom Network, however you can follow the steps for any network you choose.

Choose '''Custom''' when setting up the network and you should see the following:

In this '''Add Network''' page we can setup the following:
* Network Name: Give your network a name that you can remember and is easy for everyone in your home to understand.
* Band: Here. you have an option of setting up a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network. We will start by choosing 2.4G, you can repeat these steps to setup a 5GHz network.
* Security Type: Here are your options
** None: Not Recommended
** WPA2-Personal
** WPA - WPA2-Personal
** WPA2 - WPA3-Personal
** WPA3-Personal
* Password

'''What do these mean?'''
* '''WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)''': It provides stronger data encryption through TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) but is considered outdated and less secure than its successors.
* '''WPA2-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)''': It uses a pre-shared key (PSK), which is a password that you set up on your router. Every device that connects to the network needs to use this same password.
* '''WPA3-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3)''': Like WPA2-Personal, it uses a pre-shared key (password) for access. However, it enhances security with a feature called SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), which provides better protection against password guessing attacks.

'''Do I need Isolation turned on?'''
* Wi-Fi Isolation is a security feature that prevents devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network from communicating with each other. When enabled, this feature ensures that each device on the Wi-Fi network can only communicate with the router and not with other devices on the same network. This is particularly useful in environments like public Wi-Fi hotspots, where you want to prevent users from accessing or potentially hacking into each other's devices.

Finally you are able to share your network across other devices by sharing your Wi-Fi
