8.3 Hotspot Services

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 MBR1400
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.

Local IP Network: 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.

Redirect HTTPS Requests: This allows initial requests to HTTPS websites to be redirected appropriately.

Hotspot/UAM Authentication Port: Default: 8000. Type in a different port number, or use the slider to change the port.
