Admin Password
The Admin password is what you use to sign into the Skyus Router Web Interface. Initially, it is
the same as the default password for your router’s Primary network and is printed on the bottom
of the router.
NOTE: You can set up separate Wi-Fi passwords both Primary and Guest networks in Wi-Fi, but
these are different from the Admin password, which is for this Web Interface.
Important: It is critical that you change the Admin password from the default to keep the
device and your network secure.
To change the Admin password, click the down arrow next to Sign Out in the top-right corner of
any Web Interface page and select Change Password. Enter your current Admin password, then
enter a new password and confirm it.
You must also select a security question from the drop-down list and type an answer to question
in the Answer field. NOTE: Answers are case-sensitive. Click Save Changes.
The next time you sign in to the Skyus Router Web Interface, use the new Admin password. If you
cannot remember the password, click I forgot the Admin password. After you correctly answer
the security question you set up, the current password is displayed.

Wi-Fi - Settings
You can use the default values as they appear on this tab, or can adjust them for your
environment.
Wi-Fi
Use the Allow Wi-Fi devices to connect to this Router ON/OFF slider to turn Wi-Fi on or off.
This selection affects Primary and Guest networks.
When Wi-Fi is turned off, the only way to connect to the router (and to the Admin website) is
with Ethernet cable.
Band Selection
Each network can be accessed over two bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz:
•The 2.4 GHz band is supported by all devices with Wi-Fi and should be used by devices
that are a few years old or older. This band passes through walls better, so it may have a
longer range.
•The 5 GHz band is best for newer devices. It offers better throughput and reduced
interference, but does not pass through walls as well as the 2.4 GHz band.
NOTE: The Guest Network must be assigned at least one band before it can be turned on.
2.4 GHz Band Selection
This section displays the 802.11 Mode in use when the 2.4 GHz band is active and allows you to
select a Channel.
NOTE: Leave the Channel set to Automatic unless you need to choose a particular channel for
your environment.
5 GHz Band Selection
This section displays the 802.11 Mode in use when the 5 GHz band is active and allows you to
select a Bandwidth and Channel.
NOTE: Leave the Bandwidth at the default setting unless you experience interference with other
Wi-Fi devices. If you experience interference, try lowering the Bandwidth setting to reduce the
interference.
NOTE: Leave the Channel set to Automatic unless you need to choose a particular channel for
your environment.
