Manage network settings on the IQ WiFi 6 from Alarm.com

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 Customer Website or the web interface. The Security network information can also be viewed remotely using Partner Portal or MobileTech app.
