Multiple WiFi Networks
The MBR95 can broadcast two WiFi networks. The main (private) SSID is used for your trusted workgroup
members. The Guest (public) SSID provides full, secure access to the internet - but users are restricted from
accessing the router administration console or any connected devices on the private network. Each network
can be configured with its own QoS settings to prioritize VoIP or other applications. The ability to “Hide”
network names (SSIDs) from broadcast is also available.
HOW TO CONFIGURE: Enable the Guest Network in Step 2 of the First Time Setup Wizard. It will appear by
default as “Public-XXX” in your available networks list. (XXX = the last three characters of your routers MAC Address).
WiFi as WAN
Public WiFi networks aren’t very secure, but are generally free. The MBR95 can receive a WiFi signal and use it
to create internet access, securely connecting up to 32 devices via WiFi using the MBR95’s security features.
Enable this feature by logging in to your router (see steps 1 & 2 on page 6) and switching to
“Advanced Mode” by clicking on “Basic Mode” box in the upper left corner of the Administration
Interface. Then select INTERNET on the top navigation bar and then WiFi as WAN Settings in the
dropdown menu. Click ENABLED and then REFRESH under Site Survey (wait a moment while the
device scans). Select the WiFi network you’d like to use as your Internet Connection and click IMPORT.
