Equipment in Your Apartment
Wi-Fi Access Point (AP)
This is your Wi-Fi access point which allows your wireless devices to connect to the internet. It is attached to your wall in a central location to ensure adequate coverage in your unit. Near the base of the AP, you will find a set of ethernet ports for connecting any devices using an ethernet cable.
Optical Network Terminal (ONT)
This is your Haywire fiber router, or ONT. This device converts the incoming fiber optic connection to be used by your devices. It is installed in a networking enclosure inside your apartment, typically in a closet or laundry room.
Network Switch
Your network switch connects the access point and any available ethernet ports on your walls to the ONT. It can also be found in your apartment's networking enclosure.
Networking Enclosure
Your ONT and switch are both located in an enclosure, which is usually in a closet or laundry room.
Connecting to Your Wi-Fi
Network Name and Password
When Haywire activates your account, we will send you your Wi-Fi network's name and password. Additionally, your Wi-Fi network credentials can be found on the main page of your client zone.
Your equipment will broadcast two wireless networks for you to use: a standard network and a network ending in "_2.4." While both networks will get you connected to the internet, your "_2.4" network is intended primarily for legacy and smart home devices. If you are not sure which network to choose, your standard network is the safest option.
Changing the Wi-Fi Settings
Haywire Wi-Fi access points at this property are centrally managed, so there is not a customer login to manage the settings such as the Wi-Fi name and password. If you would like the Wi-Fi network name or password changed, please contact our support team with the new name and password (must be at least 8 characters,) and we will adjust your network accordingly.
If you are more of a do-it-yourself person, you are welcome to use your own Wi-Fi enabled equipment and plug it into the ethernet ports on the bottom of the Haywire access point (or other ethernet port in your apartment.) Just let us know if you decide to go that route, and we will disable our Wi-Fi network to prevent interference.
