8.4 Hotspot Services (Advanced Mode only)

Any of your networks can be enabled as a hotspot. To
enable a hotspot, you need to select a network and
set it as a hotspot in Network Settings

→ WiFi /

Local Networks.

NOTE: Although any network can be a hotspot, the IBR600
allows only one hotspot.

Enable Hotspot Services: Disabled by default. Click
Enabled to activate Hotspot options.

Hotspot Mode: Choose from the following dropdown
options:



Simple:

Allows ―Terms of Use‖ page and

timeout settings controlled within the router.



RADIUS/UAM: Allows you to set up external authentication servers.

LAN Group: A single LAN Group

—including both WiFi and Ethernet—can be configured as your hotspot. If you do not

already have a LAN Group configured as a hotspot, go to the

WiFi / Local Networks

page (you can click Configure to link

to this page) and set the Routing Mode to "Hotspot" for the LAN Group you want to use.

NOTE: Routing Mode is in the Local Network Editor under the IP Settings tab. Select a network in Network Settings

→ WiFi / Local Networks

and click Edit to open the Local Network Editor. The IP Settings tab will already be open: the Routing Mode dropdown menu is at the bottom.

Allow Service on 3G/4G Modems: Allows you to enable or disable hotspot access to the internet over a modem. This is
often used if the router has a main wired link and a secondary modem for failover (typically with a more expensive/limited
data plan). Select this option if you want the router to allow data traffic over the modem if the wired connection goes down.
