The WFRBoost systems were discontinued in July of 2012. These were the predecessors of the cur-
rent WiFiRanger Mobile. It is critical to determine which product is in use as the WFRBoost feature
will not work for paired systems which require WFRControl setup instead and vice versa.
To distinguish between a WFRBoost and the similar looking original Mobile (non-Titanium version),
simply look at the hardware.

WFRControl
This feature allows a master WiFiRanger to manage and control a secondary WiFiRanger. This is
used in packs that generally include both indoor and outdoor routers. It is preferable to Scan and Join
using the outdoor router which is generally the slave. This can be done conveniently from the mas-
ter’s Control Panel once WFRControl is properly setup.
WFRControl also unites the private network so that devices connected to either WiFiRanger can
communicate on the same Local Area Network. This ensures that the network is one, even though
two routers are in play. Generally, the master router is used for Control Panel functions while WFR-
Control is in use.
Initiating WFRControl
1)
Check WFRControl as Active on Setup tab
2)
Expand settings by clicking gear icon
3)
Select appropriate Control Over method
Ethernet
No additional information needed (automatically senses ports)
WiFi
Select client WiFiRanger’s SSID and enter WPA key
4)
Click Save Changes
5)
Select WFRControl then Scan and Connect on Main tab
Power Only Mode is used only in troubleshooting situations which require the outdoor unit to be pow-
ered up by the indoor router, but not to have data interconnectivity. This mode is helpful when en-
countering trouble pairing WFRControl, allowing direct access to the outdoor unit’s wireless network
and Control Panel so that it can be reset to factory defaults before attempting pairing again.

Realtime Utilization
Monitor the past 15 minutes of bandwidth activity on the Usage tab of the Control Panel. Speeds will
be indicated on the graph, and each individual Internet Connector will be color coded with Download
and Upload separated by shade of color.
Bandwidth Histor y
Analyze past consumption of data on the Usage tab of the Control Panel. History is broken out by In-
ternet Connector using color coding. The desired history to display can be changed using various
drop-down options below the graph. A table of usage will display by clicking the Show History button
on the right. This table can also be downloaded as a CSV export.

Bandwidth Groups
Create custom groups of internet sources to combine the total data usage into one viewable and
trackable statistic. This helps with keeping track of overall usage of a shared 4G plan that may in-
clude a MiFi and multiple smart phones. Instead of only having visibility for each individual device on
the shared 4G plan, you can lump the sum of their usage together to accurately avoid overages.
Configuring Bandwidth Group
1)
Go to Usage tab on Control Panel
2)
Ensure that Usage Tracking is On
3)
Enter new Group Name under Bandwidth Groups section
4)
Select desired color from palate
(used for group title and graph bars)
5)
Click Add
6)
Follow on-screen options to combine desired internet sources into Group
7)
Click Add to Group to put another device in the Group
8)
Click Save Changes
Billing Periods
Set a Billing Period to break-out data usage totals into monthly timeframes. This feature is useful for
keeping better track of how much Cellular data is used within a monthly billing period. Use this feature
in conjunction with a Bandwidth Group created for your Cellular devices to keep tabs on how much
data is used within the group during the billing period.
Configuring Billing Period
1)
Go to Usage tab on Control Panel
2)
Ensure that Usage Tracking is On
3)
Select Internet Connector or Bandwidth Group
4)
Select Billing Date upon which usage is reset
5)
Click Add
6)

Device Restrictions
Make rules to manage internet speeds or access for particular devices and Internet Connectors. This
gives you control over bandwidth usage for optimizing performance, limiting individuals, and avoiding
overages on data plans. Device Restrictions can be used creatively to schedule when children have
internet access, cutoff 4G service when approaching monthly limits, and limiting internet speeds or
downloads on particular devices. The applications are as diverse as you can imagine.
Configuring Device Restriction
1)
Go to Usage tab on Control Panel
2)
Ensure that Usage Tracking is On
3)
Select all or a particular Internet Connector or network interface
4)
Select all Devices or a particular one (check Exclude if effect should apply to all other Devices)
5)
Select desired Effect when restriction engages
6)
Set Schedule for when restriction applies
7)
Set Threshold for amount of bandwidth consumed that triggers Effect
8)
Set Reset Interval for timetable that the bandwidth Threshold will be reset on
9)
Click Add
A limit speed restriction will be highlighted in yellow when active and a disable internet access restric-
tion will be highlighted in orange when active. A message will also display on the Control Panel that
indicates that the restrictions is in effect. Any restrictions that are not highlighted in yellow or orange
are not currently being applied.
