6.7 WiFi / Local Networks

This section is used to configure the settings for
wireless networks created by your router. Note that
changes made in this section may also need to be
duplicated on wireless devices that you want to
connect to your wireless network.

For example, if you change a LAN

‘s IP address, devices

within that network will lose connection. They will have to
reconnect to the network.

Firmware 3.3.0 introduced significant changes to
the WiFi / Local Networks page, creating much
more flexibility and control for the user. The
MBR1400 now includes these options:

VLAN (virtual LAN)

As many as four WiFi networks (SSIDs)

NAT-less routing

The user can now set up multiple networks, each
with its own unique configuration and its own
selection of interfaces. Each local network can be
attached to any of the following types of interfaces:

WiFi

Ethernet

VLAN

For example, one network might be just an isolated WiFi hotspot for guests, while another might be the main network with
administrative access, two Ethernet ports, a password-protected WiFi SSID, and a VLAN interface.
