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
NETWORKING > Hotspot Services
.
NOTE
: Although any network can be a hotspot,
the router allows only one hotspot.
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, click
Configure
and set the
IPv4 Routing Mode
to “Hotspot” for the LAN Group you want to use.
NOTE
: Routing Mode is in the Primary LAN Editor under the IPv4 Settings tab. Select a network in
NETWORKING > Local IP Networks
and click
Edit
to open the Primary LAN Editor.
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.
Disable Service if Ethernet Threshold is met
: This will block hotspot use of the WAN when the threshold is
met. This can be used if the router is being used as a backup failover connection to another router with a wired
connection. If that other router’s wired connection goes down and it starts using this router for its primary
connection, then disable hotspot use of the WAN connection. Set the limiting
Rate
(KB/s) and
Time Period
(seconds).
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.
Mode
: WAN or LAN. By default there are 13 LAN (Local Area Network) ports and one WAN (Wide Area Network)
port.
•
Internet (WAN)
is used as a possible source of Internet for the router
•
Local Network (LAN)
is for connecting a computer or similar device directly to the router with an Ethernet
cable.
Link Speed
: Default setting is Auto. The Auto setting is preferred in most cases.
