About the WiFi networks
The router supports four WiFi networks, also referred to as WiFi local area networks
(WLANs) or wireless networks. These WiFi networks can operate simultaneously, but
by default, only the Wireless 1 network is operationally enabled. To use another WiFi
network, you must first enable it.
Each WiFi network has an intended usage and is preset to a VLAN profile, as described
in the following table. (For more information about VLANs, see About VLANs on the
router on page 76.)
