To add multiple routers using a CSV file:

  1. Create a CSV file containing three columns.

    • MAC: should contain the MAC address of each router
    • Model: should contain the model of each router
    • Name: should contain the name of each router

    Click Download Sample CSV to generate a CSV file template containing these three columns.

  2. Click Choose File to browse to your CSV file's location.
