Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515LVW
Plan Your Wireless Network
The router comes with preset security. This means that the Wi-Fi network name (SSID),
network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.
You can find the preset SSID and password on the side of the unit (see Router Label on
page 15).
Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
Verizon recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you do
decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in
a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the router.
If you decide to change the preset wireless security settings, be aware of the following
requirements:
• For comp
liance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating
channel and region must be set correctly.
• T
o configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can
use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement
WPA/WPA2 security.
- T
o manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following:
• SSID.
The default SSID for the router is printed on the router label (see Router
Label on p
age 15).
• The wireless mode (8
02.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter
supports.
• Wire
less security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each
wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports.
See Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings on p
age 32.
- Push
'N' Connect (WPS) implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security on the router and
your wireless computer or device at the same time. The wireless computer or device
must be compatible with WPS. See Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your
Wireless Network on
page 36.
- The
Wi-Fi repeating function requires WEP encryption. See Wi-Fi Repeating Function
on page 65.
