Verizon 5G Internet Gateway (LVSKIHP) - Turn Network Name (SSID) On / Off

Here's how to allow the Wi-Fi name of the 5G Internet Gateway (LVSKIHP) to be seen by other devices.

Every wireless access point (e.g., router, hotspot) has a network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier) assigned to it.

SSID is typically broadcast by default, but can be turned off for greater security.

When turned off, any device attempting an initial connection must know the SSID name and password to establish a manual connection to it.

For the easiest connection experience, it's recommended to leave broadcast turned on.
