Unified Wi-Fi network (Band Steering)

The NordnetBox Emotion simultaneously provides wireless networks in two bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Its unified network function means you no longer need to set up the two networks on your devices. They will automatically connect to the best-performing Wi-Fi network. To configure your Wi-Fi networks, click the network name 1

Simplified mode

From the SIMPLE tab, you can:

• toggle switch 1 to the right to activate the Wi-Fi network, and vice versa.

• check/change your network name (SSID) 2

• check/change the Wi-Fi password 4. It must contain between 8 and 63 alphanumeric characters (A-Z; a-z, 0-9) and/or special characters (e.g.: &é"'()=$@ç_,!?./§).

To save your changes, click the SAVE button.

Expert mode

From the ADVANCED tab, in addition to the actions available from the SIMPLE tab, you can adjust the functions shown in the tables below:

Pair the WPS	To activate the WPS pairing function, toggle switch 1 to the right and vice versa if you wish to disable it. This will either enable or disable the button on the front of the NordnetBox.
Enable Wi-Fi 6	Wi-Fi 6 is the latest wireless network standard, enabling much higher connection speeds than previous generations.  To enable Wi-Fi 6, turn switch 2 to the right and vice versa if you wish to deactivate it.

Change the Wi-Fi Channel	NordnetBox automatically manages the channel (frequency) of its Wi-Fi networks. If you encounter signal disturbances or unwanted disconnections, you can force it to use a specific channel. Toggle the “Automatic Wi-Fi channel” switch to the left to disable, then select a new channel from the “Wi-Fi channel” drop-down list. Test several of them to assess any disruption.
	If you are using a 5 Ghz network	Instead of “auto”, you can choose one of the channels between numbers 36 and 140.
	If you are using a 2.4 Ghz network	Instead of “auto”, you can choose one of the channels between numbers 1 and 13.
Change bandwidth	The bandwidth used has an impact on the theoretical throughput of the selected network. Choosing a high bandwidth provides high throughput but reduces network compatibility with older devices, and can sometimes cause (or be subject to) interference with other electronic devices and your neighbours’ Wi-Fi networks.  This setting should therefore be edited with care! To change its value, open the “Wi-Fi bandwidth” drop-down list.
	If you are using a 5 Ghz network	To benefit from a higher throughput, select value 160 from the list (20, 40, 80 or 160).
	If you are using a 2.4 Ghz network	To benefit from a higher throughput, select value 40 from the list (20 and 40).

Change authentication type	From the “Wi-Fi network security” section, you can change the type of authentication. We recommend using WPA / WPA2-Personal authentication
