# Wi-Fi Hotspot

## Wireless Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

After accessing the router admin panel, go to ***"Network > Wireless"*** to check the Wi-Fi status.&#x20;

* **Radio0 - Generic MAC80211 802.11bgn** is the wireless modem of the router&#x20;
* **SSID | Mode: Master  --** Are the primary & guest Wi-Fi hotspots
* **SSID | Mode: Client --** It is the Wi-Fi relay connection. It's not visible until you have a Wi-Fi relay connected.
* **Associated Stations** are the active Wi-Fi networks and their working status.

You can turn off both client and master SSID by clicking the "**Disable**" button. And re-activate it by clicking the "**Enable**" button.

The guest Wi-Fi hotspot uses a separate IP pool, 192.168.100.1, and it's turned off by default.

## Edit Wi-Fi Hotspot

On the above wireless overview page of "System > Wireless." Click the **"Edit"** button on the row of related SSID to enter their configuration page.

### i. Basic Wi-Fi Settings <a href="#basic" id="basic"></a>

In the Device Configuration section, in the General Setup tab, you can monitor the network status and configure Wi-Fi operating Mode, Channel, Bandwidth, and Transmit Power.&#x20;

Suggest using default settings unless there is a conflict.

{% hint style="info" %}
After connecting to a Wi-Fi relay, the Wi-Fi master SSID's Mode, Channel, and Width will be locked to the same settings as the connected Wi-Fi relay network.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If other 2.4GHz Wi-Fi hotspots are nearby, do not use 40MHz on "Width," and do not turn on "Force 40MHz mode" on the advanced settings.
{% endhint %}

### ii. Wi-Fi Country Code <a href="#country" id="country"></a>

In **Device Configuration**, click **Advanced Settings**, check the Country Code field, and select the corresponding country code.&#x20;

It is essential to ensure the Wi-Fi hotspot on your router meets the legal regulations in your country. The other configured Wi-Fi networks will use the same device settings.

### iii. Wi-Fi SSID & Password <a href="#password" id="password"></a>

In the Interface Configuration section, click the General Setup tab. You can edit the Wi-Fi hotspot's name on the ESSID field.

Click the Wireless Security tab to enter the encryption section and configure the Wi-Fi password.

* **Encryption:** Select an encryption method. The last option, *"WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode,"* is recommended for home and small office networks.
* **Cipher:** The *"Auto"* option is recommended.
* The **Key** is the Wi-Fi password. Input your password without space. Special characters are supported. The minimum length is eight characters.
* Other default settings are qualified for general usage.

**Remarks:**

Enable the checkbox **Hide ESSID**, and the router will stop broadcasting the Wi-Fi hotspot but maintain the Wi-Fi connection when manually entering the Wi-Fi hotspot name and password.

**WMM**, *Wi-Fi Multimedia*, is an automated way of handling Quality of Service (QoS) on the Wi-Fi network that provides improved video and voice performance over the wireless network.

## Wi-Fi Relay

You can connect the 4G router to another Wi-Fi hotspot to get a backup Internet connection or extend the current Wi-Fi network. Go to ***"Network > Wireless"*** and open the wireless overview page.

* [ ] Click the **"Scan"** button on the first row of ***"Radio0"***. It will open a new page and scan the nearby 2.4GHz Wi-Fi hotspots. <br>
* [ ] Choose the Wi-Fi hotspot you want to connect to from the page and click the **"Join Network"** button.<br>
* [ ] Enter the Wi-Fi password on the "WPA passphrase" field. Leave the new network as **"wwan"** in the **"WAN/Mobile"** firewall zone.\
  *!! Do not enable the "Replace wireless configuration" check box unless you intend to disable its own Wi-Fi master hotspot.*<br>
* [ ] Click the **"Submit"** button on the bottom right corner to enter the Wi-Fi client configure page.\
  Generally speaking, you can leave all of them with no change.<br>
* [ ] Click the **"Save & Apply"** button to return to the wireless overview page.

{% hint style="info" %}
The outdoor router will create its subnet, like connecting to an internet modem. The LAN interface on the outdoor router must be set in a different subnet than the Wi-Fi hotspot you are connecting.

We can repeat the above operations and connect to multiple Wi-Fi hotspots. Please use a different "Name of the new network" and set the firewall to "WAN."

If you fail to set up a Wi-Fi relay connection, go to "Network > Wireless," delete the "SSID | Mode: Client," and repeat the above operation.
