Pre-installation checklist

There are two options for connecting the V723 to the Wi-Fi network: Access Point (AP) mode or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode. Use WPS mode if you have easy access to the customer’s router and the router has the WPS feature enabled.

Note: Some Internet Service Providers disable the WPS feature on customer routers. AP mode is the most reliable method for installing this device.
