Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings

By default, the MBR95 has two wireless networks set up: Primary and Guest. ―

Primary‖ is the main network for this router.

―Guest‖ is an additional network that you may enable (this is disabled by default) to allow other people to briefly use your

internet connection without knowing your Primary security password. It may have different security modes than your

Primary network. Users on the Guest network can see other Guest connections and the internet, but cannot see devices

on your Primary network.
Select either your Primary or Guest network. Click

Edit to

view the options to configure that network.
WiFi Name (SSID): When you are browsing for available

wireless networks, this is the name that will be broadcast

from this router for the selected network. This name is

referred to as the SSID (service set identifier). For security

purposes, it is highly recommended that you change this

from the pre-configured name.
Hidden: This shows whether the router broadcasts its

SSID. It is somewhat harder for hackers to find and attack a

router that is not broadcasting its SSID, which adds to the

wireless security.
Isolate: Select this to isolate all wireless clients so they

cannot directly communicate with each other on the

wireless network.
WMM: WiFi Multimedia. This is a basic traffic shaping, or

QoS (quality of service), system for the network. WMM

works behind the scenes to set priorities for different types

of traffic on your network. For example, video streams are

given higher priority than print jobs, since video streams

need consistent throughput.
Enabled: If the network is available.
