The Nokia WiFi app is your central control panel for managing your mesh network. It allows you to:

• View connected devices and their signal strength.
• Set up parental controls to manage internet access for specific devices or users.
• Create a guest network for visitors, keeping your main network secure.
• Monitor network security and receive alerts.
• Perform network diagnostics and optimize performance.

Each Nokia WiFi Beacon 1 unit is equipped with 4 Ethernet ports (WAN/LAN and LAN) supporting 2.5G wired backhaul and LAN connections. This allows you to connect devices such as gaming consoles, smart TVs, or network-attached storage (NAS) directly to a Beacon for maximum speed and stability.

4.3. LED Indikatur Status

The LED light at the base of each Beacon indicates its current status:

• Aħdar Solidu: All is well, Beacon is connected and operating normally.
• Blu solidu: Setting up or booting up.
• Isfar Solidu: Startup in progress.
• Aħmar Solidu: Has an issue (refer to troubleshooting section).

5. Manutenzjoni

Regular firmware updates are crucial for maintaining optimal performance, security, and access to new features. The Nokia WiFi app will notify you when updates are available and guide you through the installation process. Ensure your Beacons remain powered on during updates.

5.2. Cleaning Your Beacons

To ensure proper ventilation and longevity, periodically clean your Beacon units with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

5.3. Irrisettjar l-Apparat

If you encounter persistent issues, you may need to reset a Beacon to its factory settings. Locate the reset button (often a small pinhole) on the back or bottom of the unit. Use a paperclip to press and hold the button for approximately 10 seconds until the LED indicator changes, then release. This will erase all custom settings, and you will need to reconfigure the Beacon via the app.
