To connect devices to a secure in-home WiFi network, you need the WiFi name and password. Use the following steps to find your modem or router's WiFi information.
 

If you have a Panoramic Wifi Gateway, then use the Panoramic Wifi app to see your WiFi network name (SSID) and password. See Panoramic Wifi App and Pods for more details.

Check the following places for the standard WiFi name and password.
