You have finished setting up your first Wi-Fi network.

  • Repeat step 4/4 to set up the second Wi-Fi network as well.
  • The certificate expires two years after it is generated; you’ll receive an email notification approximately 15 days beforehand.
    Upon expiration, the connection will stop working, and you’ll need to reconfigure it with a new certificate.
