Features of the MBR1400 (continued)
WiFi Networks
The MBR1400 can make four WiFi networks on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band. Secured SSIDs are
used for your trusted workgroup members. Guest (public) SSIDs can provide full, secure access to the
Internet - but users are restricted from accessing the router administration console or any connected
devices on the private network. Each network can be configured with its own security, QoS, and VLAN
Settings. The ability to “Hide” network names (SSIDs) from broadcast is also available.
H O W T O C O N F I G U R E :
Enable the Guest Network in Step 2 of the First Time Setup Wizard. It will appear by
default as “Guest-XXX” in your available networks list (XXX = the last three characters of your routers MAC Address).
VLAN Support
Create and manage virtual LANs to segregate and secure your network.
WiFi as WAN
The MBR1400 can receive an existing WiFi signal and use it to create secure Internet access, allowing you
to connect up to 128 devices using the MBR1400’s security features. The WiFi as WAN feature can be
used as a WiFi repeater or as a WiFi to Ethernet adapter for non-WiFi devices.
H O W T O C O N F I G U R E :
Enable this feature by logging in to your router (see steps 1 & 2 on page 9) and select
INTERNET on the top navigation bar and then WiFi as WAN settings in the drop-down menu.
