Once the IQ WiFi 6 is connected to a customer account, network settings (i.e., port forwarding, DHCP reservations, and Wi-Fi information) can be managed using the Alarm.com customer website or the web interface.

For more information about connecting the IQ WiFi 6 to a customer account, see Connect the IQ WiFi 6 to a customer account. 

Note: If multiple IQ WiFi 6 devices are used at a location, one device will be in the Controller role and all additional IQ WiFi 6 devices will be Agents that act as access points for the controller. The Controller and Agents create a mesh network that shares Security, Primary, and Guest network information.
