Question
How do I setup multiple SSIDs on my G54 using the SURFboard Central app? 
Answer
NOTE: This article applies to the Wi-Fi cable modem G54.

The G54 broadcasts a single Wi-Fi name (SSID) on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.  Some 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi devices may not be able to connect to the G54 Wi-Fi network and would need to set up the G54 with a unique SSID for the 2.4 GHz band.  This document describes how to create individual SSIDs for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz (High), 5 GHz (Low), and 6 GHz bands using the SURFboard Central app.


  
Create Individual SSIDs
  1. Tap the My Network icon at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Tap the Main Wi-Fi Network + button to expand the card, and swipe the Enable single SSID for 2.4G/5G/6G bands slider to the left to disable it.
     
  4. On the Single SSID alert pop-up box, tap the OK button.

  5. The 6GHz, 5GHz, and 2.4GHz tabs are available after the changes take effect and the individual SSIDs are broadcast over the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.

    NOTE: To separate the SSIDs, the -2.4G suffix is added to the 2.4 GHz SSID, and the -6G suffix is added to the 6 GHz SSID.  IoT devices that only support the 2.4 GHz band will need to be connected to the new 2.4 GHz SSID name.
