This article provides an overview of the web interface of the Linksys SPNMX57CF-UK, specifically for Community Fibre ISP subscribers in the UK. Access this page to view the tools and settings shown below.
The Device List page displays the list of devices that have connected to the mesh WiFi system.
The Guest Access page allows you to configure the WiFi settings for your guests. Your Guest WiFi uses WPA2™ Personal encryption.
Parental Controls is used to manage usage and block internet access on a connected device or to specific sites per device.
The Priority feature allows you to manage and optimize your internet usage by giving faster speeds (based on your network capacity) to up to three selected devices.
When enabled, these devices receive priority over others, which is ideal for limited connections or high-demand activities like streaming and gaming. Devices not prioritized will share the remaining bandwidth. This feature works best with slower connections, and it’s recommended to disable it if your internet speed exceeds 200 Mbps.
Speed check is used to determine how much speed is given to prioritized devices.
The Speed Check feature helps measure the download (from the internet) and upload (to the internet) speeds of your WiFi. It is a good way to find out whether you are getting the level of service provided by your internet service provider (ISP).
Download Speed is the rate at which internet content is transferred to your mesh WiFi system.
Upload Speed is how quickly you can upload content to the internet.
Speeds may vary depending on several factors, including how many devices are connected to your WiFi and their activities.
