Can I add a new Wi-Fi Network (SSID)?

Yes you can add a new SSID. Follow these steps:

  1. Tap Add Wi-Fi network on the home screen of the Nokia Wi-Fi app, or go to Settings and tap the "+" next to Add Wi-Fi network.
  2. Tap Continue on the warning message (the network will go down for two minutes).
  3. On the “Add new network” screen, select the preferred network type and tap Next.
  4. Enter a name for your new network and tap Save.
  5. Create a password and tap Save to complete the setup. The app will create the new network, and once successful, tap Done.
How do I add separate SSIDs for 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi?

Some network setups require separate SSIDs for the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands to ensure all devices can connect properly. You can use the connectSCP Wi-Fi app to add additional SSIDs and choose whether you want it to be 5GHz, 2.4GHz, or use automatic band steering.

Note:

  • This feature is available in the app for certain deployments.
  • If you see an error message about not having enough space to add a new network, you’ll be prompted to delete an existing one. Keep in mind that this action is permanent and can’t be undone.
  • Some Wi-Fi points may require a reboot to make changes, and a warning message will appear in those cases.
How can I tell if a problem accessing the internet is a Wi-Fi or internet issue?

To figure out if the issue lies with your Wi-Fi point (router) or your internet connection:

  1. Try using a wired Ethernet connection directly into your modem and reboot the modem.
  2. If the issue persists, it’s likely a problem with your internet provider or modem.
  3. If the connection is fine with the wired connection, try connecting directly to your root Wi-Fi point using an Ethernet cable.
  4. If the problem continues, the issue is likely with your root Wi-Fi point. If the connection works fine, the problem may be with the wireless connection.
