How does Wi-Fi compatibility mode work?

If you have an Ultra Hub or Power Hub you can set up Wi-Fi compatibility mode using the Vodafone Broadband app

You can use compatibility mode if you can’t connect to the main Wi-Fi network. It lets you split your network into two versions and choose which one to connect to:

For Ultra Hub:

Default Wi-Fi – supports 2.4/5GH and WPA2 security mode

Premium Wi-Fi – supports 2.4/5/6 GHz and WPA3 security mode

For Power Hub and Ultra Hub 7:

Default Wi-Fi – supports 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz and WPA2+WPA3 (WPA3) security mode

Secondary Wi-Fi – supports 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz and WPA2 security mode

Both versions will have the same password, but you can choose to change these.

How do I set up compatibility mode?

There are two ways:

• Vodafone Broadband app go to Wi-Fi and choose Compatibility mode to start using it

• Vodafone Broadband portal – the URL and password is on the bottom of your router. Go to Wi-Fi and choose Wi-Fi Compatibility mode to start using it

Make sure you reconnect all your devices if you use compatibility mode. Your device will also get a new IP address.

If you stop using compatibility mode, use your old password – your devices should automatically reconnect. You can’t use compatibility mode for devices like Ring Doorbells.
