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.

Tap on the + in the upper right

Tap on Add Network

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:

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Access): It provides stronger data encryption through TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) but is considered outdated and less secure than its successors.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

• Once selected a QR code will appear that other can scan. You can also send them a text.
