Will Phyn devices work with any Wi-Fi router?

Phyn devices work with most Wi-Fi routers that support a dedicated 2.4 GHz network SSID and are configured with a compatible security profile.

Supported Wi-Fi security profiles

Phyn devices are compatible with the following Wi-Fi security settings:

• WEP
  Works, but not recommended
  Networks using WEP can be easily compromised

• WPA2 Personal
  Also known as WPA2-PSK, PSK2, WPA2-PSK (AES only, not TKIP), WPA2-PSK/AES

• WPA/WPA2 Personal (Mixed Mode)
  Also known as WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode, WPA/WPA2 PSK, WPA/WPA2 (TKIP/AES), PSK2-Mixed

Unsupported Wi-Fi configurations

Phyn devices will not work if your Wi-Fi router is configured as:

• Open (no security)

• WPA only

• Any other unsupported or enterprise-level security profile

Note: The Wi-Fi Alliance strongly recommends upgrading from WEP or WPA to WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal (Mixed Mode) for improved security.

Additional considerations

• Phyn devices operate only on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks

• Routers that combine 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz under a single SSID (common with mesh networks) may require additional configuration
