In parallel with an existing wireless network:
You can set up the IQ WiFi in either of these ways:
Great for:
-Improving connectivity for ALL Wi-Fi devices on the network
-Offering support for the entire network
Great for:
-Keeping the security and smart-home devices private/hidden
from the rest of the Wi-Fi connected devices on the network
-Making online/remote support easier as only known/authorized
devices should be connected
-Ensuring better connectivity for dealer supported devices

If a single IQ WiFi does does not cover the location as
desired, you can add up to eight (8) additional nodes to
eliminate dead spots and boost overall network performance.*
*IQ WiFi will not increase the speed coming from the
customer’s ISP (Internet Service Provider) but can ensure the
customer is getting the best coverage throughout their
location. Please note that not all buildings are the same, and
building materials, wireless interface, and other factors can
limit Wi-Fi range.
