This section explains how to use our Web GUI for Beacon 1 and Beacon 3 only (web-based dashboard) to manage your Nokia WiFi network. 

The Nokia WiFi Web GUI lets you manage a variety of features for the network including routing and firewall capabilities, and you can configure the right connectivity for every device in your home, including personal computers, set-top boxes, mobile phones, smart devices, personal assistants and other consumer electronics devices.  

 

Note: Options that are available in the Web GUI will vary for different internet service providers and different Beacon models.

The behavior of the product/network when using wireless schedules depends on the backhaul medium used to create the Mesh Network.

Wireless backhaul between the Beacons
When the root Beacon and the extender Beacons are using wireless backhaul and a wireless schedule is applied, the fronthaul and backhaul radios of the root Beacon will be down during the time set in the schedule and the LED of the extender will be red.

The fronthaul SSID (the SSID used to connect the end-devices) of the extender Beacons will be down because there is no wireless connection between the extender Beacons and the Root Beacon. In this case the fronthaul will not be radiated (as there is no active backhaul link).

Wired backhaul between the Beacons
When a wired backhaul between the Beacons is used, the behavior when wireless schedule is applied will be different than with a wireless backhaul.

Only the SSIDs (fronthaul and backhaul) of the root Beacon will be down.
All the SSIDs of the extender Beacons will be kept up and running.
