Connecting My Qolsys IQ Panel 2 to WIFI

In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid teaches users how to connect a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 to a local WIFI network. This IQ Panel 2 can use IP communication to connect with the Alarm.com Servers. Keep in mind that the system's cellular communicator will also need to be active, per Alarm.com requirements.

If you want to use a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 for monitoring service, then you will need to have it connected with a network. You will need to activate the cellular communicator and get the system connected with a cellular network in order to use the system with Alarm.com. But many users also prefer to connect the system with a local IP network, as most users will have WIFI in their homes anyway. WIFI connectivity is generally a little bit faster than LTE cellular service, although cellular is more reliable. Once you get the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System onto both a WIFI network and a cellular network, its communication path will then be considered "dual-path".

When an IQ Panel 2 is connected to both WIFI and cellular, it sends out signals across both paths whenever it needs to communicate out. Whichever signal reaches the intended destination first goes through, while the other signal is automatically discarded. This prevents Alarm.com from receiving two of the exact same commands when the system only intended to send out one single command. Since WIFI is generally faster, it is usually seen as the primary communication path. But cellular communication provides a very strong backup option. This is important, as an internet or power outage would otherwise prevent the system from communicating out.

Remember that when connecting the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 to a WIFI network, you will need to provide the password for the network you intend to use. The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System can connect to both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WIFI networks.https://www.alarmgrid.com/faq/how-do-i-connect-my-qolsys-iq-panel-2-to-wifi
