More about how to connect your Doro Hemma Doorbell

To connect to a Wi-Fi network, you’ll need two important pieces of information:
Network Name (SSID)
This is the name of the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to. It helps you identify the right connection if there are multiple networks available nearby.
Wi-Fi Password
This is a security key that ensures only authorized users can access the network. You’ll need this password to connect your device for the first time.

Additional Tips
• Look for the Label: Most routers or modems have a label with the default SSID and password printed on them.
• Stay Secure: Avoid sharing your Wi-Fi password publicly to keep your network safe.
• Reconnect Easily: Once your device has saved the SSID and password, it will connect automatically whenever you’re within range.

Most internet network devices, such as routers, access points, or modems, provide information on how to securely access your Wi-Fi and manage the device settings. This information is typically printed on a label found on the back or bottom of the device, like in the example below:

To connect to a Wi-Fi network, you’ll need two key details:

• Network Name (SSID)
• Wi-Fi Password

Unfortunately, there’s no universal standard for naming these details, so the terminology may vary depending on the brand or device. Here are some common terms you might encounter:

Network Name (SSID):

• Wireless Network, Wi-Fi Name, Network Name, SSID, WLAN

Wi-Fi Password:

• Wi-Fi Password, Network Password, WPA Key, WLAN Key, Wi-Fi Access Code

In addition to providing Wi-Fi credentials, network equipment often includes an interface for managing or customizing the device’s settings. This interface can sometimes cause confusion because it may display a separate username and password for administrative access. Keep in mind, this is not the same as the Wi-Fi credentials.

Here’s a breakdown and example of what you might encounter when accessing the device settings:

Web Interface:

Admin Interface, Web Access, Router Access, Modem configuration

Login Details:

• Username: Username, User, Login
• Password: Admin Password, Web Password, User Password or just Password

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
Range: Covers a larger area, so it’s better for bigger spaces or if you need to connect through walls.
Speed: Generally slower than 5 GHz.
Interference: More prone to interference because many devices (like microwaves and cordless phones) use this frequency.
5 GHz Wi-Fi
Range: Covers a smaller area, so it’s better for smaller spaces or when you’re close to the router.
Speed: Faster than 2.4 GHz, which is great for activities like streaming HD videos or online gaming.
Interference: Less interference because fewer devices use this frequency.
In summary, use 2.4 GHz for better coverage and 5 GHz for faster speeds. Most modern routers can use both, so you can get the best of both worlds!

Using the Router’s Settings:
Open a Web Browser: On a device connected to your router, open a web browser.
Enter Router’s IP Address: Type your router’s IP address into the URL bar (common addresses are 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).
Log In: Enter your router’s admin username and password. If you haven’t changed these, they might be on a sticker on your router.
Find Wireless Settings: Navigate to the wireless settings section. This might be under “Advanced Settings” or “Wireless”1.
Select Band: Look for an option to select the Wi-Fi band. You might see options like “2.4 GHz” and “5 GHz” or “Enable 5 GHz”.
Save Changes: After selecting the desired band, save your changes.

Using Device Manager on Windows:
Open Device Manager: Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
Find Network Adapters: Expand the Network Adapters section.
Open Properties: Right-click on your Wi-Fi adapter and select Properties.
Advanced Tab: Go to the Advanced tab.
Preferred Band: Find the setting for Preferred Band and select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz from the dropdown menu2.
Save and Restart: Click OK and restart your computer.
These steps should help you switch between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands

Most modern routers have a feature called band steering. This feature automatically directs your device to the best available band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz) based on factors like signal strength and network congestion.

How band steering works:
Automatic Selection: Your router evaluates the current conditions and decides which band will provide the best performance for your device.
Seamless Switching: If conditions change (like moving closer to the router), your device can switch bands without you noticing.
Single Network Name: You only see one network name (SSID), and the router handles the rest.

Steps to disable band steering:
Log in to your router: Open a web browser, enter your router’s IP address, and log in with your admin credentials.
Find Wireless Settings: Navigate to the wireless settings section.
Enable Band Steering: Look for an option like “Band Steering” or “Smart Connect” and disable it.
Save Changes: Save your settings and restart your router if necessary.
With band steering enabled, your devices will automatically connect to the best available band, ensuring optimal performance without any manual intervention.
