Advanced Wi-Fi Settings
WARNING:
The Wi-Fi router is already configured with the optimum settings.
Do not alter these settings unless directed by Verizon support.
Incorrect settings disable the Wi-Fi router.
To change the advanced Wi-Fi settings:
1.
Log in to the router as described in
Log In to Your Router
on page 17.
2.
From the main menu, select
Advanced > Wi-Fi Settings
.
The following settings are available:
•
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings
. See
Wireless Station Access Control
on page 62.
-
Enable Wi-Fi Router Radio
. Selected by default, this setting enables the wireless
radio, which allows the router to work as a wireless access point. Turning off the
wireless radio can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting.
-

-
Disable Router’s PIN
. By default, this check box is cleared. When the check box
is selected, this setting allows the WPS clients to discover the router’s PIN.
-
Keep Existing Wi-Fi Settings
. By default, this check box is cleared. When the
check box is selected, this setting allows the router to automatically generate the
SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After WPS is
implemented, the router automatically selects the Keep Existing Wi-Fi Settings
check box so that your SSID and wireless security settings remain the same if
other WPS-enabled devices are added later.

Wireless Station Access Control
By default, any wireless computer configured with the correct SSID and wireless security
settings is allowed access to your wireless network. You can use wireless access point
settings in the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen to further restrict wireless access to your
network:
•
Turn off wireless connectivity completely
.
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the router. For example, if you use your
notebook computer to connect wirelessly to your router, and you take a business trip, you
can turn off the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other members of
your household who use computers connected to the router with Ethernet cables can still
use the router. To make this change, clear the
Enable Wi-Fi Router Radio
check box in
the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen and click
Apply
.
•
Hide your wireless network name (SSID)
.
By default, the router is set to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). You can
restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name
(SSID). To make this change, clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast
check box on the
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen and click
Apply
. Wireless devices do not see your
router. You must configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name
(SSID) of the router.
Note:
The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you
configure in the router. If they do not match, you do not get a
wireless connection to the router.

Restrict Access by MAC Address
For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific
computers based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted computers
so that unknown computers cannot connect wirelessly to the Verizon 4G LTE Router. MAC
address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data
broadcast over the Wi-Fi link is fully exposed.
Note:
If you configure the router from a wireless computer, add your
computer’s MAC address to the access control list. Otherwise you
lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then
access the router from a wired computer, or from a wireless
computer that is on the access control list, to make any further
changes.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1.
Log in to the router as described in
Log In to Your Router
on page 17.
2.
From the main menu, select
Advanced > Wi-Fi Settings
and click the
Set Up Access List
button. The following screen displays:
3.
To enable access control, select the
Turn Access Control On
check box. Otherwise,
access control is disabled by default so that any computer configured with the correct SSID
can connect.

following screen displays:
5.
You can add devices to the list using either of the following methods:
•
If the computer is in the Available Wi-Fi Cards table, select its radio button to capture
its MAC address.
•
Use the Wireless Card Entry fields to enter the MAC address of the device that is to
be added. The MAC address can usually be found on the bottom of the wireless
device.
•
If no device name appears when you enter the MAC address, you can type a
descriptive name for the computer that you are adding.
6.
Click
Apply
to save these settings. Now, only devices on this list are allowed to connect
wirelessly to the router.
Note:
You can also restrict access using the Access Control screen. See
Access Control

Wi-Fi Repeating Function
The following restrictions apply when you are using the Wi-Fi repeating function:
•
The Wi-Fi security options WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES), and WPA-PSK (TKIP) +
WPA2-PSK (AES) are not available when you enable the Wi-Fi repeating function. See
Configure WEP
on page 35.
•
The Wi-Fi repeating function cannot be used with Auto Channel. See
Manually Configure
Your Wireless Settings
on page 32.
To configure the Wi-Fi repeating function:
1.
Log in to the router as described in
Log In to Your Router
on page 17.
2.
From the main menu, select
Advanced > Wi-Fi Repeating Function
.
3.
To use either bridge mode or repeater mode, select
Enable Wi-Fi Repeating Function
.
4.
Select the mode you want for your environment:
•
Wi-Fi Repeater
. In this mode, the MBR1515LVW communicates
only
with another
Base Station–mode wireless station. You must enter the MAC address (physical
address) of the other Base Station–mode wireless station in the field provided. WEP /
WPA-PSK [TKIP] can (and should) be used to protect this communication.
•
Wi-Fi Base Station
. Select this option only if this MBR1515LVW is the master for a
group of Repeater-mode wireless stations. The other Repeater-mode wireless
stations must be set to Wi-Fi Repeater-mode, using this MBR1515LVW’s MAC
address. They then send all traffic to this master, rather than communicating directly
with each other. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this traffic. If this option is
selected, you must enter the MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields
provided.
