Under this section, there are three sub-categories, and these are WiFi, Advanced, and MAC Filtering.

 


 

WiFi

 

In the WiFi tab, you can:

 

  • Customize your WiFi settings, including the Guest network.
  • Update the WiFi name and password.
  • Adjust security settings and much more.

 

Supported Security Settings:

 

The default security setting is WPA2 Personal for backward compatibility. If you have devices that support WPA3™, you can change it to WPA2/WPA3 Mixed Personal or higher.

 

Security mode with WPA2 Personal selected
 
Guest

 

The Guest network is disabled by default. Enable it to share your Guest WiFi with your visitors without giving out your primary home network credentials. This helps keep your primary devices secure.

 

Give the Guest network a unique name and a password to share with your guests. The Guest network uses the same security that is set for all radios.

 

Guest feature

 

Toggle the switch to enable the Guest feature. Click the edit icon and set the Guest WiFi name and password. Make sure to hit Save to apply changes.

MAC Filtering

 

MAC Filtering is used to deny access to specific devices on the WiFi network. It is recommended to verify the MAC address of your device to confirm the setting. 

 

If the client device has a Private Wi-Fi Address or Random MAC enabled, which changes its MAC address at various times, the device will not follow the Deny rule, and the device will be allowed on the network due to the device using a different MAC address. 

 

To check or change this setting on your device, click here for iOS devices or click here for Android™ devices.

 

MAC Filtering tab

 

Follow these instructions to configure MAC Filtering.

 

1. Toggle to enable WiFi MAC Filtering.
